Razorback Hog Sticker

[EScott]

Scott forged this GHF Razorback over coal at a regional county fair back in May and just got around to heat treating and finishing it inbetween commissions. It's made of 5160 tool steel, has a hammer-marked finish, sharpened clip, and flame-grain walnut handle with nickel-silver pins.



Razorback
Steel: 5160
Finish: "Rustic"
Overall Length: 13 1/2 inches
Blade Length: 8 1/2 inches
Handle: Flame grain walnut (from Burl Source)
Sheath: Leather huckleberry rig (in the works)

It's sort of a bowie, camp knife, chopper all-in-one, and we're calling it the Razorback because it's a wild hog sticker if I've ever seen one. Scott plans to make a leather huckleberry rig for this one.

Let us know what you think.

Thanks.

Holy-Smokes that is nice. The blade shape is "spot-on". Can we say "FLOW" here people?

You can always spot a hard working knifemaker by looking at his fingers. Mine resemble yours very much.

Thanks for the inspiration.
