Thanks for the comments everyone. Evan is doing an outstanding job on this knife.

Unfortunately a lot of that sweet popcorn on the mark side stag had to go during the hafting process, but I am really loving the results. Here are the new pics Evan sent me today:

Apparently the satin finish on the blade was a real bear to do by hand. The steel is Hitachi blue #2, at a hardness around 63 IIRC.

Phil this is coming out insane! Evan is doing an incredible job on this one. You're very lucky dude.

 

[Markesharp]

That looks fantastic! Is the blade hollow or flat ground Philllll? I like the color on that stag!

 

[meako]

Elephant toenail?
thing of the past.
I call this one a Blue whale tail fluke.
any tips on getting that superb finish Evan?

I guess if you get carried away pruning a fruit tree and decide to take the whole thing down, you'll have the right tool!!!!

Thank you for all the nice comments, everyone! This is really a huge knife, and a very tricky build. The butt plate was interesting, and hafting the stag to taper to the thinness of the bolsters was a pain. Unfortunately, I had to haft a lot of the popcorn, but I am happy with how the dye job came out.

Well, enough talk. Here she is.

Wow that turned out awesome. Fantastic work Evan.

 

[trey999]

[rockgolfer]

Thats pretty freakin sweet :thumbup:

Any pics of it closed?

Great job on that one!

 

[esnyx]

You'll have to ask Phil. He already took it home!

 

[Jack Black]

I think you've done a superb job of that Evan, it looks really old school - olde school even! :thumbup:

 

[galvanic1882]

Wow nice job Evan

 

[Joe58]

Nice work as usual Evan. The handle on that one looked a little familiar. Was that the old stuff?

I immediately thought of my old (and well used) John Primble India Steel Works knife when I saw this. Thought I would post it here to show the resemblence.

Just an outstanding knife you crafted Evan ! The stag is wonderful (I like it better hafted and stained) the finish is beautiful, and I absolutely love the use of the smaller pins !

Very nice attention to detail. :thumbup::thumbup:

Lucky Philllll !!!
