Here is an order I just finished. Blade is 12.5" 5160 fittings are cold browned mild steel and the handle is Ivory. any and all comments welcome good or bad.

So it's very tasty.:D
 
Interesting mix of parts. I was never a huge fan of Bagwell style guards but that's just me. I really dig it. Nice job.
 
Nice Eric. I assume soft back draw because of the blue back. The pins are synthetic? Are there hidden pins? Overall I like this piece. Sheath?

Nice....

Do you have any picts from the blade side?

I think shot is making the handle a bit out of proportion to the blade.

It does the style justice.

Gary, the customer wanted the softback colors left on the blade. The pins are Browned domed mild steel. He wants a Southern Comfort sheath from River City Sheaths.
 
Looking good Erik, I like it a lot. Very nice blade shape, and coffin handle too!
Regards,
Steve
 
That's an awesome rendition. Your handle looks right on to me. You ever made one with a micarta handle?
 
Digging the hell out of this, Erik. Not a big fan of ivory OR coffin handles, but they're critical to a Hell's Belle, and you've nailed it here. The whole piece just works!!! I, for one, love the C guard. Always have. Just fits this piece. Love it!!!
 
I'm with Matt. This is a really nice piece. Bold in every way.
 
So nice

Better than any other I have seen done in much better style!

Best Regards,
