112 bare head

[Canvsbk]

So today the mailman brought nice stuff. I felt that I deserved it. A 112 bare head clip point 5160. It sits nice next to the drop point Mr. Stone did previously. Spectacular work, the pics don’t do it justice.

Congratulations.

I'm a fan of the headless design as well.

Highly figured ebony. Just a stunning knife in the hand. He did an awesome job for sure.

I have to say very, very well done! I'm planning on a pair of Custom's in Ebony too a those just made me decide for bareheaded. Are they for display or user's?

 

[Canvsbk]

Both will be occasional users. The rotation lineup is pretty full but I’ll find a way.

Yes.

Wouldn't that be called a bare-tail? I've always considered that the end side and the choil area towards the blade the head. Beautiful 112 by the way.

The barebutt is fantastic

I've ALWAYS thought this but never said anything cause I thought I was the only one that considered the "head" by the blade. atleast I know I'm not alone now.

It's been discussed here before but I think the general consensus was it comes from the time of adornment. There was usually a "head" on that end of the knife or sword.

I'm kinda partial to bareheads too.

The bare-tail is a little too risque for this forum.

Or the front bolster looks like a bare head, and stands out a little more since there isnt a rear bolster.

I forgot to ask..is that 112 a Joe Houser Custom? It's a good example of how well a liner enhances the look..
