Walrus B&T
« on: March 28, 2015, 10:10:00 AM »
This is the first Knife I've gotten done since the Arkansas Show back in Feb. Being gone to HI for 3 weeks put a crimp in my shop production  ;)  

Here is a 4 1/8" Damascus Bird & Trout. I picked up this piece of walrus a couple years ago in HI while rummaging thru a junky Flea Market. Karen thought I was nuts at the time, she thinks it was OK now... The spacers are silicon bronze and 416 SS.

   
   

Thanks for looking

That profile and size is what I think is the perfect archery blade. The looks of it says you won't have to take it off when you head to church on sunday.
I like that one a bunch Doug.
