Knife I'm taking to the OKCA show...

scottickes · Mar 30, 2008

This dagger point hunter will be on my table at the OKCA show (table M-17). I'm very happy with this one. Random damascus, with mammoth ivory and MOP handle material and nickelsilver bolsters. Mike Tully made the sheath on this one. He has quite an artistic mind when it comes to making sheaths. I do my own leatherwork, but have been having Mike make more and more of them because of his artistic flair! The sheath is faux mammoth fur, with a small decorative talon and bead work.

I'm anxious to read what all of you think of this one.

Thanks for looking.

That's my "century" design. The handle won't come off for at least one hundred years!

I really like the knife, but the sheath is out there.

The photo doesn't do the sheath justice. I'm very, very pleased with what Mr. Tully came up with on it. He got the hair dyed to match the mammoth ivory.

It's also like having a pet. The sheath needs brushed every day!

A very interesting use of materials. I like the combination. It would look better to me if there were less pins.

I'm heading out the door to drive to Eugene. The photos are of ten knives I'm taking. Enjoy! I'm looking forward to seeing those of you that are going to be there!
