Not a Fiddleback, but still a knife

[Rick Lowe]

Thought I might show what I do when not working leather. Actually, the leather came as a side line to knife making and has progressed above working steel. Besides Andy, Dylan and Dan there are a couple of talented knife makers on this site. J. Oeser comes to mind right off and I enjoy seeing his work selling well. This one is forged from 1084 with stainless guard and end cap. The handle is pink ivory between leather and red spacers. Design comes from some of the Randall's I remember seeing back in country circa 1969. It's long (13"), thin and meant to create problems. Sheath is a fun to do lizard inlay. Hope you guys like it.

And I was beginning to think you forgot how. Nicely done Brother RLo.

Good looking knife! Sheath is to fancy for my taste but looks well done. The first thing I thought when I saw the knife was Pig Sticker. Then after looking at it a bit I thought it's a lot like a Single Edged Dagger. Very cool!

That is one beauty of a beast.

Thanks to all for the comments!
Heber-that sheath is way too fancy for the real world. I only did it for my own amusement and practice time. It should be a very plain sheath done in the same style.
