Knife for a banquet

[melsdad]

This is my donation for this years Somerset County Pennsylvania, Pheasants Forever annual banquet. This is my first hidden tang construction. As always, I'm open to honest criticism.

Blade O1 tool steel 7¼" long hardened to 59Rc., O.A.L 12¼"
simple fileworked spine for a thumb grip
Handle is Ash with poured pewter bands
bolster & pommel are also made of O1
aged patina on the Blade, pommel, and bolster.
The display stand is walnut, with forged steel supports.

Beautiful work. The stand is a great idea.
Looks antique. Fine job.

Well we had our banquet this past Saturday, and the knife went for $310.00 at the auction. I was just glad to contribute, Pheasants Forever is a great organization if your an outdoors enthusiast.

Nice looking knife and stand. Someone got a real nice piece for a darn good price I think.
