I've been trying, in my spare time, to get some knives together for the Little Rock show. Here's one that's almost done. 5" blade, 4.5" handle, SS guard. The buttcap is Ironwood, that's attached with a tenon in the stag w/ tubing through the tenon.

Thanks for looking,

Tad

may be a novice but, I know what looks good. Your knife looks GREAT ! Classic style, fine fit and finish. Thanks for the pics.
 
That's a really nice hunter Tad - I like the ironwood cap. Looking forward to seeing these in person. Any big pieces planned for the show?

Tad,

I just looked at the galley of your work on your website.....your forging beautiful knives that flow with grace. This stag hunter is no exception, keep up the great craftsmanship and I look forward to seeing more!!!

Really nice hunter.
really distinct hamon activity, very good execution and stag.

The ironwood buttcap is very nice touch.
 
Thanks, guys.

Roger, I think I'll have a big chopper and a light chopper, with a couple of traditional bowies. I hope to see you there.

that's a cool knife Tad.
Pretty neat idea the way you attached the handle. Does the tube go through the tang?

Hey, Lorien. The tang stops just before the wood tenon. I did think about that--after I prepped the hole and cut off the tang.

Doh!:D
It wouldn't make a difference if you did, I wouldn't think. Dang tricky to do though I bet. That would be an impressive feat of precision.
 
I've lost this one. Outstandig job Tad. For sure I'll ask you some big piece in stag in the future.
