Finally got this one done....
« on: August 14, 2009, 11:59:00 AM »
It's been a ussual crazy summer but here's a little something I started last spring and finally found time to finish up. Never can get much shop time in the summer up here on the Ranch...

I'll be taking it to WY tomorrow where I'm meeting up with several friends for a couple days and hopefully catching a bunch of fish. I'm thinking this knife won't be coming back home with me but will be headed to Wisconsin instead  ;)

Damascus blade, guard and butt cap along with bighorn sheep. I love this sheep horn!!
 
 

Thanks for looking!

That is a very nice knife Doug but I don't think Whip will like it so after you show it to him you can send it to me.  ;)

That truly is a sweet little knife. Sheep horn has its own special characteristices that make almost anything it goes on look better than it is!
Even though this knife is as good as it can get, the sheep horn just gives it something "extra".
You mean I could have driven a few hours up to Wisconsin and roade out with Joe?
I'm really disturbed that I wasn't invited.

Doug, that's a beauty for sure!  Is the butt cap attached with a nut on a threaded tang?

Will you be fly fishing?  Have fun!

Thanks for sharing!

Doug you've got a real talent with sheep horn.  You just know how to get the most out of each piece you use. I really like that one!
