A couple
« on: February 22, 2011, 04:47:00 PM »
I've been pretty busy lately doing all sorts of arcane stuff, but a couple of knives have emerged...

An 8" recurved hunter with naturally featured wrought iron bolsters, redwood burl handle.

 

and a bowie from a composite billet of wagon wheel wrought iron on the spine and clay quenched W2 on the edge.  This was done by just butt-welding two bars of equal thickness.  It is 12", with 8" blade, claro walnut handle and copper s-guard with 'battle scar' filework.

Scott

The first one is by far my favorite from you!  That is my perfect knife!

Scott, your quite the craftsman, fine work.  It's a toss up for me, I like them both!

I recently forged a blade that reminds me of your Bowie, that will become a Sub Hilt some time soon I hope.

Awesome! The top one is beautiful, and the redwood just puts it over the top.
