Bruce when Pete sends this to you
take a picture of it with Donna holding it and send it to me.
I want to see if your cheating by using her to make
your pictures look better.
:D :D you know I'm just kidding:confused: :D
 
Dan,This one looks really great!!!!
I have been wanting to try one of these also.
I will be glad to have Donna pose with the knife and sheath when it is done.Donna makes them all look better;)
Bruce
 
Dan, Thats a beauty. I like the old look for a change. Is Bruce making a metal sheath for it? Thats going to be a fine combination. Maybe we could all send knives for Donna to hold and make a calendar of the photos.
 
Dan, that is awsome! Just looking at it makes me want to try one.

What are the specs? Is that a large dia. hollow grind I see?
 
That's great Dan. I think you balanced the antique look with the good clean lines of a new knife perfectly. Aside from that I really like the style and craftsmanship.....A+++:cool:
 
Dan that's fantasitic, I am in the presence of greatness! That's one fine knife, lucky owner...

Congratulations Dan, You have now been placed on a short list of makers that make me sick:D ,It is a good list to be on.All kidding aside,that is a real beauty.

Mark
 
I'd want to have one of those calendars myself:D
yes Bruce E is making the sheath for it I was going to but
time is a factor for me right now and he does a nice (great)job
he's done a few metal sheaths for my pieces and they match up nice,
Petes going to put this one with an antiquated, engraved,
nickel-plated Colt and it will be engraved by John Adams.

It's made of German silver(N/S),Indian Stag,
flat ground O1 Blade with the escutcheons inlayed on both sides
8" x (5/32"Thick by request) over all 12 3/4" raised pins,
with a thin blade like this it's harder to get these lines.
Thanks Guys you all are too kind.
 
Cool Beans Dan, thats a great old looking new piece, the new owner will be happy with that one. :cool: I too would like to see some specs.

Bill
 
I think you nailed the effect you were looking for exactly! Geat knife, can't wait to see it after Bruce E. gets it!
 
Guy
you just want to see the pichure of
Donna holding it don't you
:D :D :D ;)just funning,, Thanks Guys
 
Dan, how wide is the blade? I hope your happy, now I have to order some more steel and try one of those. Great looking knife.
