First knife of 2009

[robloveday]

Work has been keeping me so busy that it took me until April to finish my first knife of the year. I will, however be picking up the pace and finishing another 5 or 6 in the next few months. This was made for my brother-in-law who requested a camp knife in an Old West style. My wife did most of the sheath.

Blades: 1095 differentially heat treated
Guards: 416 ss and copper
Handle: popcorn stag with a stabilized buckeye burl pommel nut cover (the smaller knife is stabilized buckeye burl)
Sheath: cow leather and deer skin with an antler tip

That Camp Knife is Beautifully done. Nice heat treat line on it. I love the touch of copper behind the guard.
