A Suprise, a Bowie and a Face

[Rossi Knives]

Greetings and happy Irish Day,

Here are a few knives I finished awaiting leather. The first is a very overbuilt drop point that I forged out of 1095. The temperline is completely accidental. The spine just did not get below 1000 degrees in time and I think the results are pretty darn cool. This knife is over 1/4 inch at the spine and the material under the wrap is tooled leather. I was trying to replicate Winter Bottom bone. The filework features a tiki guy, Kabuki mask and a mexican wrestler depending on who is holding it.

This one is a collaboration with my good friend Knifemaker Herb Kettel. Kind of a Kevlar Vest Pocket Bowie. Herb forged and heat treated the 1095 blade, I ground, polished, fileworked and handled it. The slabs are micarta and the pins are brass.

Thanks for looking!

The second knife just looks awesome! I like the random filework that turns into checkering.
