Nicely done!This is my new White owl. I was inspired byr8shell and her pony jack.
The shaping of the blade was not bad. The swedge took a bit more time. The biggest time sink was in setting bevels and sharpening - I think most of the edge started at 90 degrees inclusiveafter filing.
I also started with a traditional coping shape, but the corner of the spine (starting downslope) ended up pinching my fingers, so I smoothed it into almost a wharncliffe for comfort.

Stag on a Bladeforums knife!! Whooda thunk it??
That shield looks great Ken, I know the hotdog shield isn’t a popular one, but I think it would look great on the Pony.
I had skipped the pony jacks and the white owl’s so I wasn’t even sure what the mod was until bigfish posted. That looks great. Flawless shield cutout
Making sure to give the credit where the credit is due...I had skipped the pony jacks and the white owl’s so I wasn’t even sure what the mod was until bigfish posted. That looks great. Flawless shield cutout
