4 1/2" Scout with a fancy handle:)

[NWA]

This one sports an antique finish and some of the nicest handle material I have ever seen. I am unsure of the name of it but I am sure the owner will chime in and tell us

This one is made from 3/16" thick O-1 differently Ht'd to 60RC at the edge.
Stainless pins and tube
9 ozleather sheath treated in bees wax.







I hope he likes it as much as I do

Thanks for the oportunity to make you a knife Stumpy

THANK YOU!!!!!

Mike..er..Stumpy


...I may have to jump right back in line for another one before you get too busy!!!

[Stump Buster]

Ummm...You are going to send it to me right???

[NWA]

I actually want to keep this one man But I wouldn't do that to ya

It looks and feels great in the hand

Do you think your gun grips will match pretty close?

Nick

[Stump Buster]

Funny you should ask.....

I sent Dave an e-mail to this link and just got this reply back from him...

"Mike,
I looked at the pic and it is a close match to the grips. We had a tough time with them. Wood had lots of holes and cracks and were a little small for the frame. Everything came together in the end and they look as good as any I have seen.
David"

So it sounds like they'll go together perfectly!!!

I can't wait to see them together!!! Pics will be forthcoming!!!

THANKS AGAIN,

Mike

That looks FANTASTIC!!!

Every time I look at one of your Sierra Scouts I want one.

Especialy like those scallops you have put on some of your handles lately.

[tknife]

That is an awesome combo with the aged finish and a beautiful piece wood.

[Fort Henry Custom Knives]

I agree, the wood is very nice. The Antique finish does help set the tone also, a great looking working knife.

Maybe the new owner will post a matching set pic when he has time..??

There was a lot of voids in this piece of wood and to be honest I was a bit concerned if I was gonna be able to make it happen. But, it all worked out and freakin sweet if I do say so myself

I am more than confident you will love this one man.

Incredible work as usual! The combo of wood handles and etched blade is really amazing...enjoy!

[blgoode]

Damn Nick! What a knife. Looks PERFECT!

What did you antique with? I use cold blueing and bleach and about 2 hrs.
I get this effect.....



Dont mean to hijack the thread but I had to ask cause thats more subtle than mine and its perfect for that wood!

[NWA]

Hi B, I use the exact same method. I use the splashless bleach though. It seems to work better for me.


Nick

[blgoode]

Never heard of splashless

I'll check it out. Great results man!!

Me either till my ex wife bought it one time so I had to try it.

It's just more of a gel type.
