Hey everyone, I've been hanging around here for awhile and I get a kick out of seeing what everybody is working on so I thought I would show you my latest.
Blade- 1/4" x 8" Brad Vice Damascus
Handle- elk
Fittings- brass with a couple of thin red spacers
OAL 13.5"
Still working on the sheath.
Hope you like it.

Monty that looks pretty awesome. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Very nice ,I love the blade shape and over all finish. 1/4" thick it must weigh a bit.

Thanks guys.
Tinbasher, my postal scale says 14oz. Pretty heavy, it balances at the front edge of the guard.

Have you ever worked with ivory?

SpearZ · Sep 30, 2007

That is outstanding in every way

I glad you showed us your work :thumbup:

and I'll say it again, it's September now, it's been one of the best years in the hand made knife maker's area and selling.

Cheers to all of the knifemaker's

and hell Cheers to all the knife owner's as well

Nice! Lots of class with that brass

Thanks Dan, I know brass isn't very popular but sometimes you get tired of looking at shiney white metal!...lol. And I've got a bunch of brass.

wow - that is beautiful!

Normally I don't go for antler handles. Or clip points. However, there's something about the lines and finish on this one that really speaks to me. Well done! And thanks for the pictures.

Monty,
I think I know who owns this knife. I must say those pictures don't do it justice! The sheath and box are incredible also!

Very Nicely done.It is a very well presented piece in the display box and the sheath looks very good. That Elk Horn looks almost like Sambar Stag
Good Job!!!!
