I'm a rookie blade smith, my latest project knife # 13.

11 3/4" OAL 63/4" blade forged from a Farriers rasp mild steel guard with rope file work. Curly Maple handle scalloped and my third attempt at silver wire inlay. Leather lined sheath with scrimed half moon whitetail shead antler.

Any idea who my favorite bladesmith/influence is?

Very nice Steve. Excellent work, I think Mr. Moran would have approved.

Very nicely executed. Knife and sheath.
Especially that handle. Looks like a ST-24 would be the next natural progression.

Looks like you have the handle down. :thumbup:
