In the Works - This is a KNIFE!

[Wild Rose]

and thus was born the "Frambo" aka WildGoo 17 - one B/F'ing Texas sized Bowie for a Texan - it's to go with the owner's 45-110 13lb Shiloh Sharps....

The blade - by Tai Goo......(Frambo is Tai's name for this one based roughly on the Rambo blade style, but to be built in WG's frontier styling...)

The grip, which is on it's way, is an Elk crown courtesy of Ray Richard....

Once I get the stag in hand I'll post some more progress pics........oh yeah the blade is 12 1/4" by 2 7/16" x 16 3/4" overall........

 

[Tai Goo]

Big John Frambo!

I like the whole frontier Rambo concept!

... can't wait to see the finished product.

The blade is from a piece of 5/16 inch thick 5160 leaf spring.

 

[Raymond Richard]

Now thats a knife!

 

[Kevin Jones]

Now that's going to be a BOWIE with some meat behind it.

Can't wait to see the finished bowie & sheath.

 

[Keith Montgomery]

I can tell already that this one is going to look great. I'd be willing to bet the sheath will as well.

 

[Karl B. Andersen]

I am TRULY looking forward to seeing the completed project!

 

[John M Cohea]

I will be looking forward to seeing this one finished myself!!

Big honking John Frambo. Rambo wouldn't be worthy enough to carry this one!!! Can't wait to see it finished.

If Rambo isnt worthy well then no one is!

FWIW - the title was a tongue in cheek reference to Crocodile Dundee's line.....

Otherwise I'm chomping at the bit, but am waiting on the stag - Ray shipped it and it should be here by week's end - hopefully Sunday or Monday I can get started........

 

[Mhael]

That is looking good. Can't wait to see the progress

 

[Tai Goo]

I had a feeling about this whole "Frambo" thing.

Stallone actually bought one of my knives many moons ago.

Chuck, Did you check the mail yet? I was told it should be in your hands today.

 

[Wild Rose]

Ray - mail dopesn't get her until after 4:00PM - also we are in the "black hole" of Colorado and mail service is strange...........
