Fixed blades

[cs_762]

The wife has a hard time throwing crap away, and I'm grateful she saved this old mirrored jewelry vanity that was left in a closet by the previous owners. With knives piling up on top of the safe, she converted it to a tabletop display for me. She gutted it, patched up the holes, wrapped the outside, lined the inside, and replaced the mirror with a sheet of acrylic.

Dedicated this one for some of my favorite fixed blades (allowing one stowaway folder in there until the next case is complete, solely because it's sporting vintage emerald covers)...

A couple of older Horsewright knives seen at the birthday party for Mrs Horsewright;

Both had long and distinguished ranching careers.

As I was reading your post ....

My First reaction (my brain was going a hundred miles an hour) I was thinking your wife incased your knives in that epoxy/acrilic you see people on YouTube making table tops.....

I think I'm pretty Ok at making field knives.....









8670 Steel, vintage Creamy Oatmeal scales.
Next up is sheath, then final clean up, marking, and final steeling the edge.
Its already sharp, and it melts into the hand.
Thanks.

Finished these today. They are both blades I scrapped a year or two ago.

This one is nimble at 7" blade

Between 6-9" is kinda do Everything size.
