Here is one of my latest that I had Coop work his magic on.The blade is 8" of forged 1095 with forge texture and antique finish with a black bear jaw handle with copper band,rawhide wraps and a dangler.OAL on this one is 13".The sheath is pretty ornate and features a copper wire wrapped and foldformed ornament that has a tube set garnet in the center.The feather and the natural copper ore nugget are both fused with sterling silver.Also on the sheath is a badger claw dangle.Thanks to Coop for his fine photos.I tried to post so you wouldn't have to click the links,but forgot how.Maybe someone will help me out here!!Thanks for looking everyone!

John, I'm liking the whole package, but that knife blade is really something.

John,
Very beautiful knife and sheath!!! Even without Coop's magic it would still be eye candy.
 
Every piece of the whole package is AWESOME John! I can't even imagine how much work went into that sucker:eek:
 
Very Cool John, great package. :thumbup: :thumbup: That handle looks like it might have a little bite left in it. :D

An amazing work in the primitive/frontier style of knife. The sheath alone is a beautiful work of art. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Coop's photos are beautiful as well.
