Mister potatoe heads knife.....

Raymond Richard · Jul 3, 2003

Haven't posted here for awhile, haven't made much of anything either latly. I did get this put together yesterday. Forged the blade out of a piece of the rusty steel behind mister head. It's a piece of really old logging mill saw blade that came out on a job I was working on in a load of fill sand a few years before I got into making knives. I spark tested it and it looks the same as W-1. The handle is a piece of cow horn and then brass fittings. Looks like I used a 50 cal casing but its not. The blade is just over 3" and total of just over 7".

Cool Dude!
Nice to see somebody with a sense of humour.

Saw it early AM over on the other place but didn't have time to make a comment so here you go.

Very nice raymond. Blade looks almost like damascus. Is that just natural patina/pattern from the variations in the steel?

Clean! Nice temper line. Mr PH mush have some tough digits to hold that baby like that.

I sure like your rings on the end.

I like that knife - really like it.

The setting really strikes me funny for some reason. Must be the grin on that new knife owner.

etp 777, Its not damascus or a natural pantina. Its a light hot dog mustard pantina. Glad you guys like the knife, mister potatoe head won't give it back.

Bruce, I plan on making a trip out to Willie's to get more horn and the bull peckers he's got on ice for me. I'm sure I'll be making a couple canes out of the peckers but also thinking of using them for knife handles.

Very cool Ray, I love that handle and horn is one of my favorite handle materials.

I am going to have to try that mustard trick one of these days.
