My first real feather knife

[D lisch]

Well, I just needed to get back home for a bit. But it is back to the land of straight steel after this, hope you like it. It was a joy to make. Thanks for looking.

That blade really came out nice. Love the stag handle and the carved butt cap as well.

Nice job Dave.
Like it.

 

[Bill Burke]

Dave, very nice pattern and I really like the fact that you oriented the feather so that it grows out of the handle and not into it.

 

[J-siah]

wow that is awesome, I love that pattern. The image on the pommel is very unique too.

The only problem I see (and this is just a personal preference) are the finger grooves in the handle. I just don't care for that kind of styling.

Great work, -Josiah

 

[Bruce Bump]

Very cool knife Dave. I too like the feather going that direction. Those carved pommels are artwork that seem to set you apart from others.

 

[John M Cohea]

Outstanding Dave!!

 

[Murray White]

Dave this is to me the nicest I have seen from you and the Native theme is terrific. I agree with Bill on the way you put the package together but also agree re the fingergrooves. Fortunately, they are at least shallow. Very nice for sure.

 

[Raymond Richard]

Dave, Fine looking knife and your carvings are the best I have seen.

 

[D lisch]

Thank you all for your thoughts on my knife. I used the wide stag for the shape of its butt however it felt odd to hold. so I used the Bill Burke close your eyes and fill method I took away stag where I needed to until she felt just right. I did not take much to make a big difference. Now where did I put that 5160

 

[Bill Burke]

Well I think that you done good Dave. It is very difficult to make a less than optimal piece work at all let alone work well and picking a piece of handle material for a certain characteristic(like one that will support a nice hot chiseled butcap and making it work well is even harder. keep up the good work.

Great piece Dave!!! Lots of character!!! :thumbup:

Now get on those Js knives!
