BRAVO!! That is beautiful! :cool:

It also looks very effective :D

I don't know how many big knives you've done in the past, but you should keep doing them.
 
Thanks Andrew. I have turned out quite a few larger blades. The Model 11 was really popular at the start of the war. A bunch of UH60 pilots decided that they were a perfect addition to their survival kits. They kept me pretty darn busy. But those were very basic with BB blades, G10 handles and Kydex rigs. This is one of the few that I have made up in this fashion.

They were more like the one in the attachment.

Fabulous work as usual R.W. I like everything about it!
Your sheaths are pieces of art also!
Just curious, is that 3/16 or 1/4 stock?

Best,
Frank :cool:
 
Biggest done to date had a 12" blade. That one went to Thailand. But I will have a 14" one at Blade. Its a Model 11 handle with a 14" hollow ground recurved bolo blade in A2. Its a nasty beast.
 
OK, I'll jump on the bandwagon- That is an incredibly beautiful piece! I hope you'll be making a lot more like this one, cause my custom budget is shot for the next 12-18 months. :p
