Second chance

[Raymond Richard]

But actually third chance. The blade of this knife is another one from a buggy spring. It went from the spring to a larger blade and after forging it there was one huge pit I knew I couldn't make go away so I cut the good part off the front and forged this blade out of it. It has a 4 1/2" blade and the fittings are from a buggy wheel with an exceptional piece of sambar stag for the handle. Its 9 1/2" overall.

How's this picture look?

I like it! picture looks good, I would orient it so the knife goes across the horseshoe at a right angle with the roundy part pointing up. That spring pack was a great find Ray!

nicely done, the blade and handle shapes worked out REALLY well.

Great looking knife Ray! :thumbup: Your knives look like they are brand spanking new 100yo knives. Amazing!

Another beautiful knife Ray. Really do like the fittings. How do you do your etching on them?

Stuart, What your seeing on my fittings is more texture that I do and not so much from the etch plus I use cold blue to darken them some.
