Taurus 12 with guard.

[erik markman]

A black Taurus 12 with a guard and black micarta handle.
Blade and guard made of hardened O1 and gunkoted.

Hope you like it!

I love everything about this; especially the addition of the guard.

Great work! the micarta gets along very well with the dark tone of the blade.

OUTSTANDING. Nice back country knife, if you could make yourself use it.

As a general rule, I do not like a round integral bolster with a flat guard stacked on top. But for some reason it's working for me on this stout little knife.

Thanks. The bolster is not round, it is an oval with a smaller arch at the bottom and flattish sides. I hope you know what I mean.

Nice work, Erik. You know that you need to do a fancy damascus or rust blued version at some point, right?

 

[erik markman]

Working on that Joe!

Understood - thanks.
