Eagle shape forged knife

[milesofalaska]

Eagle knife. Note the outline of the eagle - blade is a wing handle is a wing. Over all length is 7 inches,- blade 3 inches. A light 2.8 ounces. Forged and acid etched 01 steel. A lot going on with this knife. Unusual handle material. I call is 'skin from the creature from the green lagoon'. Looks like Komodo dragon skin or maybe a huge rattlesnake? Note how the skin patterns looks like wing feathers! Eagle head is mother of pearl shell. "But Miles! Tell us what kind of skin that is!....." And note there is copper and brass hammered into the steel. The copper looks like flecks of blood! Maybe the skin is a dragon or something and that's his blood!! The wing pattern is acid etched in the blade. "yea right Dragons, come on Miles what's the handle made of!" Note the two wolf tracks stamped on the blade wing. From the Beatles song "My mother was of the earth, my father was of the sky, this knife is of the universe, and now you know why…." "And those are not the words to the song and what's the handle material!" And the stand is half a pound of mammoth ivory. That's about the past, 40,000 years ago along the Yukon River. There was a flood and… Oh all right the creature from the green lagoon is an armadillo. I was looking for a dragon when…. The creature approached and I used my trusty….. Anyhow it's $9.99 today only. Oh, that's the stand. It's free when you buy the knife for $349.

The ivory stand did in fact start out as scrap from the junk pile. This piece actually ended up ok looking when I took all the chalk off. As for the knife I have been working on ideas using animal shapes. I have a whale, a hummingbird, wolf, dragon, and a lizard I am still working on. It could be my PETA series (people for eating tasty animals). Unless it’s cute. Then of course, I have to wear that hat backwards. Animals That Eat Pets (PETA backwards) like eagles! Anyhow, the knife feels comfortable in the hand, has a nice balance to it. It’s a lot of time to work out a design. I’m pleased with this one. Heat treat worked out well. Flexes 20 degrees and does 130 swipes on a brass rod and still cuts paper.
