Gunslinger with a History
Here is a Gunslinger I just finished up.
I have made quite a few of these, the customer wanted the long spine with the filework all the way. I wasn't crazy about it, but its all about the customer. OAL 9.5" Blade 5" 388 Layer Damascus from Alabama Damascus The guard I forged from a Bolt the customer gave me, then I cold blued it. He owns a shortline RR in Oregon and said the bolt came from a RR Bridge built in 1933. He also gave me the date nails for the handles. The scales are Spalted Maple. I made the sheath too. Thanks for looking. Dwane __________________ American Bladesmiths Society Apprentice Smith Work Smarter Not Harder www.OliverKnives.com |

First of all I must say I am a NUT ( In A Good Way, LOL ) when it comes to Old Westerns and Antique Guns. I absolutly love this knife! I think everything works together to make one great looking package. I just wish I could see the edge of the spine to view your filework. Thanks for sharing!
