This was a blade I've had for the last couple months. I had spotted a lot of alloy banding and had hopes of bring it out more but it never would work out the way I wanted. I decided to go ahead and antique it instead. Its got a 14 1/2" hand forged L-6 blade, iron fittings and a stabilized maple burl handle. Over all its 19 1/2" overall. It also has one of my two ply cowhide sheaths.

whoa!
 
That knife looks like it can do MANY thing, but I'm not sure about carving that pumpkin with it?! :indecisiveness:
 
That's really nice Ray, It has sort of a cavalry saber look to it, the sheath looks great to.
 
Nice Ray. Looks like a real fun one to swing around. There's a little difference (or is it lighting) in the handle shape down by the pinky than what I'm used to seeing and I like it.
 
VERY VERY nice Ray! Definitely has a Saber look to it. I sincerely hope you have a great show, but it wouldn't break my heart if you brought that one to Arkansas :D

Of course, and I wish all the collectors at the Boise show well. But IF they're dumb enough to pass (jk) don't forget to bring it to Arkansas!

It's a beauty. And I've handled enough of your knives to have a pretty good guess of how it feels in hand --- light and fast.
