Well...I have one done for Boise!!

Finally got my first knife actually finished for the Boise show. Hopefully there will be more.

I forged this one a few weeks back and got it wrapped up last night.

I've always liked green canvas micarta and wanted to do a simple hunter with this material.

Specs:

Forged from 1080 steel
.150" thick at the ricasso
8" overall, 3 3/4" blade
Tapered tang
Green canvas micarta scales
Mosaic front pin
German silver center pins and lanyard tube

Looking good Pal!

Now get in the shop and get the rest done! I hope to have all the sheaths done over the weekend, and then maybe I can get a few cord wrapped EBKs finished up and take them too.

Nice hunter John. What the other guys said. Don't show it around, or you'll go empty handed to Boise. I like how your quench line reads on both sides of the blade.


Take care, Craig

Nice work John! I have enjoyed looking at the pics of your work the short time I have been hangin around this forum outfit. I really like your quenching lines. German silver the same as nickel silver?
