John Horrigan Hunter Sword and Bowies

John has been busy in the shop and just sent me pictures of three stunning blades. He'll have these at the upcoming Arkansas show, and I'll post a few pics in that thread, but wanted to post up the details here.


First up, a Hunting Sword. I first saw one of John's hunting swords in Atlanta five years ago, a knife I'll never forget. This one is just as beautiful, 32 inches, with Fossilized Walrus.

A huge Bowie, 21 inches long, with Fossilized Walrus. Amazing details.

This is a very talented man! Lovely work!

 

[Justin Carnecchia]

Beautiful, I especially like the hunting sword.
With the first two, stainless san-mai?

John's detailed execution on all of these pieces is outstanding, with unique design features on all three. Superb quality work and impeccable attention to detail. These knives "cry out" to be held. Either one or all three would be a wonderful addition to anyone's collection.

In Little Rock, saw the big Bowie and it is GIGANTIC! And very impressive!

Great guy, great talent!

Those are some really nice looking pieces. Hunting swords are favorites of mine, small enough to be practical to carry yet still fairly large.

Does that sheath for the sword have a wood core?

 

[Paul Savage]

wow! Clean and stunning pcs. Love the way the blue pops against the ivory on that hunting sword.
