Mean little fighter- frame handle, take down
This was a commissioned piece headed for Texas. It was a lot of fun (and a bit of a challenge for me) to build. I really enjoyed working with this collector. He was very nice and very patient and not at all demanding. He liked a small cowboy bowie that I made a while back but wanted one with a couple changes. He made his requests and we tossed some ideas and materials back and forth and this is what we came up with.
The clip is RAZOR sharp on this! (a first for me) This is also a full take down and every piece fits exactly with no play anywhere Hand forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched and etched dark 11" overall, 6 1/2" blade, .210" at the ricasso Rounded spine and ricasso edge Sharpened clip My own damascus guard and collars Fileworked bronze spacer African Blackwood handle scales Fileworked Bronze frame Browned/Bronzed screws Checkered Stainless steel finial nut The beautiful leather is by Claude Scott. He does fantastic work! All discussion, comments, critique, and opinions welcome. __________________ John Doyle You have nothing to fear but fear itself...........and bears. |
