MAN! That's got to be one of your best looking "big" knives. Looks like you're putting in a lot of 12+ hour days. Need to talk to your boss...

Is that more of your Northern Wisconsin Wrought Iron?

No, this iron came from a good friend that I met in a local blacksmith group. It's a tire from on old wagon wheel and it took forever to get it from round into the shape of a guard.
And, my boss has no pity on me. He makes me stand at the forge in this 90 degree heat and pound on hot steel.
 
WOW!
I love your knives. What I like about them is you could take them straight out into any field and use them, not that they are plain by any means, its just that I can tell are interested in making a knife not just something to look at.

I also appreciate that you price your knives within range of most people. I got beat to the one you just sold as a "simple knife". And I have seen bowies of less quality for double the money.

Again, great work.
 
Nice work on the big knife Gerry. Your use of the iron really contrasts with the blade and handle. Nice touch.
 
Gerry, I am a super fan of your work. If every spare cent I make wasn't going to pay for university tuition I would buy this one in a heartbeat! Not interested in starting a payment plan for "starving university students" are you?:)
 
This showed up today---much livelier in the hand than I was expecting! Still a big girl but she can dance if she wants to. ;)

The wrought iron looks twice as cool in person---thanks GL :thumbup:
