Bocote and Cowhorn
Hi y'all, back at it again. This time I made a nice little hunter/neck knife. It has a 2 1/4" blade of 1095, bocote handle and a cowhorn spacer. Overall it's 5 3/4". I used a piece of 1095 for the guard as well. It feels really good in the hand, and balances right at the guard. Bocote is great to work and has a real nice grain pattern. Well have a look and let me know what ya think...Bud

I love the smooth, clean lines of this knife. It looks way better in the top picture, by the way.

The touch mark is the sun sign from the Zia Pueblo. It is also used by the State of New Mexico as its symbol.
I have the stamp tool from Tandy and use it on selected sheaths. __________________ "I want to play with your poodle" Lightnin' Hopkins, long ago Steve Hayden steve4663@gmail.com Aztec, NM |
