This is one a recently completed,and it was a custom commission.The client said he wanted a bowie,but since he felt stag was overdone,he wanted something different.Well, I like to think I do different pretty well,so I told him of this idea I had.Here is the results.
10 inch blade of random damascus with forge texture and deep copper etch,Handle is bear jaw and fittings and D Guard frame are heat colored wrought iron.The frame has filework,and the jaw scales have copper pins and liners.
The sheath has a beaver tail inlay,copper nugget dangle,and a bear tooth focal point.Photos by our very own Chuck Ward.
Normally I don't do thumnails,but since I'm having problems with Photobucket:mad:,it's the best I can do for now!

John, that is different, in a very good way! So many great details in both the knife and the sheath! Outstanding in a primitive and frontier way! Your are a great talent! I really like the Beaver tail accent.

I reviewed your "Basic" DVD again, that is such a great resource!
