Dark Timber
« on: August 09, 2009, 03:20:00 PM »
Seems like every time I have a new hunting adventure, I need a new knife for the journey  :)   Forged this up yesterday for the Campbell/Pinecone elk hunt.  Wanted something a little bigger & beefier as I hear elk tend to be a might larger than our local whitetails   ;)  If I'm lucky enough to get her some work & she preforms well enough, than I'll probably add some elk horn scales.  Hopefully I'll get to expose her to some Antelope next week in Wyoming too...Doc
 
5160 9" OAL with a 5" blade compared to my normal carry 7" AOL caper.  Both have 10" wheel shallow hollow grinds.

Both of them are fantastic.
You make sheaths for these type knives?
Got any pictures?

Karl, I hate makin' sheaths...but I when I do they usually simple, cross draw style, and form fitting plus some neck sheaths.  I also tend to make multiple knives to fit One Sheath  :)

Doc, I know where you can get one sheath made  :)  
Cool lookin blades. Ever since i saw one of your guards I've wondered about wet fitting leather to them to lock in a blade.
