2X-Dream Hunter

[D lisch]

Well after the great intro Nick Wheeler gave me today I went down to the shop and finished up this small hunter. It has a wrought iron skull cracker butt cap, wrought iron guard, my 2X-Dream mosaic damascus and a nice piece of sanbar stag my friend Chuck from AKS gave me. Blade is 4-5/8", OAL is 10-1/4"- these are the first pics with my new camera so bear with me. Thanks for looking.

I really like that knife. You should start to get some images of knves up on your website.

Have you made, or are you planning on making any bowies?

 

[Kevin Jones]

I really like that. Rustic yet still refined. :thumbup::thumbup:

Good look'n stuff buddy!

Keith... not only has Dave made them, he won Best Bowie at the last MKA show! :thumbup:

Very cool. Did you file the grooves into the guard and buttcap or forge them?

Any photos of that knife that one can see?

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Boy, does someone ever have to update the MKA website. I went to check out whether they had any info on the 2007 best bowie, and the latest info I could find was the dates for the 2001 show.

great blade....the handle needs to be shorter or blade longer, IMO, and the sweep on the guard is about 5-10 degrees too far back.

Welcome to the Forums....ask Nick about me if you have any questions, I will be in Seattle this year, and will visit with you if you have time.

Best Regards,

I used the edge of the platen very carefully to put in the grooves. To bring out a nice grain in wrought iron, I sand to 400 then put it back it the fire to raise the grain. I might do this several times until I get the look I want.
