Gator leg bone and cable
« on: May 22, 2013, 09:11:00 AM »
Just finished this one for a friend. Its probably been a year or better since I made a knife, it was kinda nice to get back to the forge. Handle is leg bone from the new MS state record alligator (taken last september on my hunting club near the MS River), blade is made from hc 1" wire rope

Really nice looking knife!  Like the effect in the blade steel!
