Not American traditional, but...
« on: June 28, 2010, 12:12:00 PM »
Something a bit different. The owner named the blade "Islands in the Stream" (must be a Hemingway fan?) The handle and sheath are cocobolo, the guard is mild steel and was subsequently blued, the ferule is also mild steel, but stippled before being blued. The throat and thip of the sheath and the butt cap are buffalo horn. The retaining peg is black dyed bamboo. And no, I don't want to do another. That sheath was a collosal pain in the behind.

Well, it may have been a pain, but it turned out most excellent I would say!
