A few here may have seen an earlier review I did of the T.M. Hunt Yuma model, one of the knives from Todd's Workhorse line. That review is here at this link. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...T-M-Hunt-Awesome-Custom-Knives!-(photo-heavy)
Well, now I get to show off one of Todd's more artistic handmade knives, a sweet...and massive, Brass-Back Bowie. The is a hue amount of hand worked detail in this knife, as well as the rattlesnake skin in-laid sheath that Todd made for it.
The knife is 19-inches overall, the blade is 13-inches of 0.25 O-1 Tool Steel, full flat grind, with a swedged clip. The Elk antler handle has a large file-worked and peened guard, and a matching file-worked and peened pommel, with: brass, black G10, copper, and stainless steel spacers at each end. The file-worked brass back is dovetailed into the spine with a tight fit, is flush with the surface of the blade, and is soldered and pinned in place and in no way interferes with the functionality of the knife. The balance point is just between the guard and the plunge line so the knife is just slightly blade-heavy and very well balanced for a knife of this size.
Among the things I really like about Todd's work, is that even when he waxes artistic and creative, he still makes them to be used. And yes those are use marks you saw in that low-angle shot
