something a little different

[John M Cohea]

Here are a couple of neck knives I just finished. The big one is 4"OAL, and is handled in barn oak, with the sheath of the same material. Blade steel is Jilted Ladder by Chad Nichols, and is hollow ground. The knife also has black liners, filework, brass pin and thong liner, and deerskin dangler with barn oak bead. The sheath features a forged iron center oranament and bail, and is lined with elkskin, and all the wood is finished in tung oil.The small one is 3"OAL, and handle material and bead is crackle mammoth ivory. Blade steel is low layer twist by Chad, and is also hollow ground with filework and black liners. Nickle silver pin and brass thong tube w/ deerskin dangler round it out. Sheath is veg-tan w/ rattlesnake overlays, and is laced toghter with leather cord in a double whip stich and has a hammered copper bail and a rare earth magnet for blade retention.
