Hi Guys,

This knife I actually designed for my self but a customer liked it that much he bought it from me.
The blade is forged from 5160, 1/4" thick, 81/2" long, left with the forging skin on the top edge and the primary grinds polished. The hand guard is carbon steel and gun blued. The handle is Sambar stag held in place with a carbon steel pommel which has been filed and partially gun blued. The leather sheath is hand stitched with a patterned finish embellished with Native American style beads.
I hope you enjoy the pic's, all comments welcome as always.

Steve.







 
That is a beautiful knife!!
The contrast in the blade surface gives a really striking effect, and it goes really well with the handle & pommel...it all comes together very nicely...
good looking sheath too...
great work!
thanks for sharing!
