Thread dedicated to Joe Houser custom made knives

Another Joe Houser custom 184 with copper guard/pins (copper pins replaced custom turned pins) and Sambar stag handle with end spacers of ebony wood.

Here's a Joe Houser bowie, flat grind blade with green micarta handle with diagonal spacers of water buffalo.
The guard and pommel are of brass and aluminum.

And a nice sheath to go with.

Since stacked leather 119 Brahma's are being talked about in other threads recently, I figured I would post a couple of custom made by Joe Houser. One I obtained before the web blast and slightly differs by having the black oxide mostly polished off (LOA) and the other was obtained thru the web blast (COA).

639 that is stupidly sold. I regret that decision often.

That one is a beauty. I wish I would have purchased it. It would fit right in with my other 639s.

Was Joe responsible for all the stag modified 639's? I bought mine second, third or fourth hand...

I don’t know. I have come across some that were done by Stone Knifeworks also. The only reason I know that Joe made the one I posted is he commented on it in a Facebook group.

Okay, thanks. Was that recently?

No. It was about 2 years ago.

Still kicking myself for not pulling the trigger on that Brahma. I hesitated, and they were gone. GREAT examples of Joe's work !

Indeed, I have been holding out and thank you. Joe did make quite a few custom 119 Brahma's during this timeframe.

Nice stuff!
Maybe it would just be easier for you to show us pics of the ones you don't have...lol.

There's something special about a nice 119.

Dark red (which is great) ? Looks black on my screen. In the second picture, if I look closely, looks sorta reddish where the light is reflecting off the handle. Still, Awesome.
