American Tribute-From The Redwood Forest....

[shadowknives]

If you will recall, I have a tradition of making a knife or two in celebration of our Nation's Birthday every year. If I pull it off, it will TRULY be a 4th of July knife, as it is heat-treating now!

Whilst we wait, I wanted to quote from Woody Guthrie,
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me

FROM THE REDWOOD FOREST, comes this beautiful Redwood Burl.

Is the Redwood stabilized?

 

[shadowknives]

Good question. Yes, it is stabilized. I learned my lesson a LONG time ago....

 

[woodgood]

That's a nice tradition that you've started and you've done a wonderful job with that knife's creation.

 

[panch0]

Fantastic work. I really like the burl looking pattern on the sheath!

 

[shadowknives]

If there's one thing I like, it's tradition, woodgood. Pancho, the sheath is just a cheat....everyone loves it, but i started doing a lot more that way so as not to have to 'even up' the dye....streak here and there....Sheathes are American-Made by Green River Leather in Kentucky. I wetform them and dye and protect and cure them to fit each knife. Thanks for looking!

Very nice Eddie. :thumbup:
I'm thinking a solid black sheath would look even nicer with those redwood scales.
Does the sheath have a clip or belt loop?

 

[shadowknives]

Thanks Mick! That sheath is a loop.

 

[Lanza]

Very nice blade profile.

Great tradition and a beautiful knife. If I didn't have another knife coming soon I would snap this one!!
