Hey All,
Well, here is my first foray into the "cultural" scene. A local organization is putting together a 3 week show of artist (yes, is till feel funny being refereed to that way) from the Northeastern PA area. Here are the six pieces I'm putting into the show for sale/display. I tried to add a bit of diversity and fun to the shindig. I hope you like 'em. Here's the info and pieces...
2009 From Heart to Hand Show
Sponsored by the Northern Tier Cultural Alliance
Knives on display from September 4th through the 27th, 2009
Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center, 134 Main St., Wellsboro, PA 16901
Open daily 2-5pm
(I'll be attending the show opening and reception on Friday, Sept. 5th from 5:30-8pm.)
"Bushy Run Battlefield" Fighter
This big Fighter has a 12" blade of edge-quenched W1 high carbon steel with etched/forge marked flats and a nice, wavy hamon line. The handle furniture is forged from O1 & 15N20 random damascus with a large oval guard, fullered spacer and pommel filed to match the Sambar Stag handle. The overall
length of this knife is 17 1/2" and comes with a tooled leather blade sheath.
"Coyote Scraper" Belt Knife
This knife has a spear-point blade of "random-cut" 5 1/8" long damascus with forge-marked and etched flats. The guard is etched wrought iron. The handle is a Coyote jaw-bone with a throat spacer or stabilized/worked California Buckeye Burl wood and black spacers. The handle is finished off with hammered stainless steel pins and a damascus tooth to take the space of a missing one in the jaw. The overall length of this knife is 10 3/16" and it comes with a raw-hide period sheath with Horse-hair, trade
beads and Bear & Coyote claws done by John Cohea.
Small Recurve Belt Knife
This Small belt knife has a 3 1/2" recurve blade forged from 52100 ball bearing "twist" damascus steel. The fullered, oval guard is wrought iron and the handle is a dyed/sealed PA whitetail stag with a textured crown. Overall length is 7 1/8"
Basic Drop-point Hunter
This basic Hunter is forged from 1084 high carbon steel with a hand-rubbed finish and a tapered tang. The handle scales are stabilized/green dyed Maple Burl wood with stainless steel handle bolts. The cutting edge is 3 1/2" and the overall length is 8".
Wire-Scroll Spear-point
This Spear-point Hunter has a 5" blade of rough forged 52100 ball bearing "twist" damascus steel with a visible hamon line. The contoured guard and pin are stainless steel. The handle is Curly Maple wood inlaid with .999 fine silver wire scroll work. The overall length of the piece is 10".
Saw-bone Patch Knife
This 3 3/8" thin bladed "patch" knife is forged from high carbon chainsaw chain and 1084 powder with a rough forged finish. The button guard is wrought iron with file worked accents. The handle is stabilized leg bone with a raw hide wrap. The overall length of this piece is 7 1/4"
