National Knife Museum Submission
A few months ago I was asked to submit a knife for display at the National Knife Museum. Well I am a bit late in getting it to them but I hope it was worth the wait.
Feather Bowie with an 11.5" blade. I like using different parts of the billet in the final project., The s guard is made using the first weld of a feather billet. and the pommel is the final weld just before it is split. I used some really nice sanbar stag for the handle. It has a unique curve that lays right in the hand very comfortably. The OAL of this beast is 17.25". Oh and yes for those who might think they had seen this before, it is very similar to the Mona Lisa knife I made for the Boise Show. Hope you enjoy... __________________ http://www.woodchuckforge.com Avatar, Scott Taylor Memorial Scholarship Knife Photo by Bob Glassman Chuck Richards ABS J.S. |

Very nice, Chuck.
I'll have one in there, as well, come Blade Show time. __________________ Blade Show Table 8-Q What do you do when you see your ex in pain, limping and bleeding? Relax. Take a deep breath. Reload and then shoot again. http://www.andersenforge.com/ |

Thanks Karl. I looked at their proposal. They will have close to 100 knives in this display once finished.
Just noticed we had exactly the same post count.... how weird. __________________ http://www.woodchuckforge.com Avatar, Scott Taylor Memorial Scholarship Knife Photo by Bob Glassman Chuck Richards ABS J.S. |

Dana, that bright vein is pure nickel. Getting it in the right place with regards to the point was more difficult than I thought it should be. Had 3 other billets turn into other projects because the nickel went too far or not far enough. Thanks again for all the feedback.
