I am still playing with the chiseled butt caps. This little knife is 8-1/4" OAL. Cap and guard are both forged wrought iron This one will get a sheath and I hope who ever buys it, puts it to work.

No not gun blue heat blue. But I do use gun blue to blend in the sides of the pommel.

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Very nice. I really like that buttcap.

 

[gajinoz]

That is nice, I'm not sure I could actually bring myself to use it. I'd probably only bring it out to impress my friends.

Oh boy a self portrait in steel! It looks just like you too Dave. You even used some of that boney stuff for a handle. Nicely done buddy.
