Bud Richards "Crazy Horse" Bowie

[RogerP]

Greetings all,

One of the makers that really made an impression on me from this past Blade was Bud Richards. His work on his 5 JS submissions knives was just so very crisp and clean - and a significant improvement from just a few months earlier at the Little Rock show.

Looks like he is keeping that good momentum going forward. I saw this on Chuck's site and thouught I'd post it here.

Crazy Horse sports an 11" blade of Cru Forge V, with an overall length of 16 1/4". A contoured handle of Ringed Gidgee, together with stainless steel fittings complete the package.

Nicely done Bud!

A real Beauty....Thanks for showing !

Bud has been making some really nice knives lately, including that one. At 11" long that blade will get the job done.

That looks great Bud! Nice contours. Clean as a whistle.

Beautiful knife!
I really like these super clean big monsters.
Great job shaping and finishing the Gidgee.

Great knife and photo

Spot on Roger! Beautiful knife....

That is a really nice knife, but I think Bud may have a bit of a masochistic streak if he hand rubbed a fine finish like that on an 11 inch Cru Forge V blade.

Nice Bud.
Love that long sleek blade profile.
