Hanger Guard Fighter from Claudio CAS-Completed; photos added

[Kevin Jones]

Here's a 12.5" Hanger Guard Fighter that Claudio has in the works. It's shaping up to be a very special piece.
The Damascus is Twisted "Ws". I will share more images as CAS progresses with the creation.

As always, thank you for your interest, participation and hope you enjoy!

Hello!

Kevin, you got an outstanding piece in the making, no doubt about it! Is this your first CAS piece? If so, you are starting with a big bang.

Tuned in to see the progress Claudio and his brothers are making with the knife.

All the best,
Alex

Love the blade shape Kevin - very nice flow to it and the fuller is a nice touch. Looking forward to the finished product

I've been following this on facebook. Looks like an absolute winner. I generally don't really go for hanger guards on bowies / fighters but for some reason this one fits my eye.

Gonna be a knockout!

CAS completed the knife today and I couldn't be more pleased. Everything turned out so well IMO.
I would like to mention what a pleasure it is to work with Claudio. I would also like to give Marcelo a call out on the beautiful sheath.
He's really doing outstanding work.

I will comment on this knife more later when I have more time. I wanted to get photos posted up for your viewing pleasure.

Wow, beautiful

 

[SharpByCoop]

Does it get sexier or more sinister than this? It can't!

BB2015 finalist quality.

Great score Kevin!

Claudio, Marcello: Bravo!
