The Preacher - rustical dog bone bowie, lightning strike blade, ball guard, medieval bog oak -PM

[Petr Melicharek]

Hello everyone

Today I finished this knife. I was working on it for about a month. It is so called dog bone bowie with the frame handle construction. The small tooth on the heel of the blade is called spanish notch and is quite typical for this type of knife. The sheat was somehow challenging, but im happy with the result So see you with more knives soon bye Petr

Your 'forced patina' is captivating and well-presented. VERY rustic, indeed.

And that 'lightning bolt', tho'

 

[J. Hansen]

Your knives ALWAYS IMPRESS, and this one is sure no different.
Do you ever attend Blade Show?

 

[Petr Melicharek]

Thank you very much guys for all your comments ! I really appreciate that and im glad you like my work !!

Kevin Jones : Thank you very much !! All knives I present are custom ordes, and they are "sold" long before i make them, therefore i never have any knives to bring to the shows sadly. In reality a never been in any show at all Maybe it will change one day ....

I4Marc : LOL .. stop mocking me I know i do maybe too much pictures, but i want to show every detail i have been working on, and i cant do the collages (for now) Those knives are my "children" and the pictures are the only thing i can keep after they leave Thanks !!!

 

[Win Heger]
