John Cohea's Latest.

[Chuck Ward]

John asked me to post this knife and sheath I shot over the weekend. 9 1/2" blade, 15" OAL. 1095 with elk antler. Wrought iron/copper fittings. I think the new owner is going to be very happy. Nice job John.

John's work is so nicely photogenic. Not easy either, as he gives you a LOT of visuals to fit into a contained amount of real estate.

John's work + Chuck's visuals = Smiling viewer.

Is there a coffee table book of John Cohea work? I would buy that book.

Thanks guys and thanks for the post Mr. Chuck.This one has a 9 1/2" blade of forged 1095 with forge texture and an antique finish, 15,1/2" OAL. Handle is elk stag with a fold formed copper ferrule with rawhide wraps and fittings forged from wrought iron wagon parts and heat colored.The finial nut is made from a section or wrought iron bolt that was ticking out of one of the parts and I left the rusted thread texture for extra detail.
abcdef, no coffee table book but I am going to be honored with a one page spread in Dr. David Darom's next book, the World of Art Knives Volume IV, due out soon!!
