fun with clay

[Allen Newberry]

Here is one that I just finished up for an order. It has a cocobolo handle and a blade of 1095 with a clay heat treatment.



This shot shows the leather sheath that Butch Hagedorn made for it as well as a couple of streaks of wax that I should have wiped off before photographing.

[Allen Newberry]

Thanks everyone. Brion the guard is heat colored mild steel. Tad I can't recall all of the measurements off hand but the overall length is around 14 1/4'' the width of the blade is probably just short of 2'' at it's widest and the steels thickness is 5/32'' at the ricasso. Lin I am going to be in your neck of the woods some time in January. I will have to see if you will be at the museum while I am in town.
