This is the first knife I ever fully forged out other than a couple file knives. I was going for a rustic look to it. 14" OAL 5160 copper guard 3/16" SS pin Elk antler Thanks for looking! ~Nate Last edited by NorCal Nate; 02-23-2014 at 12:47 AM. Reason: cause im a dork. |

Thanks guys! Always been timid of the hidden tangs.. It's a little confidence builder.

Really like it!
__________________ C Craft Customs With every custom knife I build I try to accomplish three things. I want that knife to look so good you just have to pick it up, feel so good in your hand you can't wait to try it, and once you use it, you never want to put it down ! If I capture those three factors in each knife I build, I am assured the knife will become a piece that is used and treasured by its owner! C Craft |

I think you did just fine reaching your goal. Nice forge work.
And, don't be feared of hidden tangs, they've been around a very long time, proven themselves for thousands of years. __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H |

The answer can be found in: QUOTE: oh my god im a jackass.......its 14" Seriously, that's a cool looking knife. But, I have to ask: what are you planning to skin - a mastodon? A fighter or a camp knife I can understand, but a skinner? Butcher knife maybe .... |

I'm not very good with blade shapes and names Ray....looks like a big ass buffalo skinner or something to me. I guess the person who buys it can call it a paring knife if they want..
And thanks for breaking down my statement and clarifying for me! I can always count on you! ~Nate |

Looks good Nate!
When the Europeans started trading with the natives they had some buffalo skinners that had blades 12" long. When I was reading about early HBC trade knives and other early iron tools the natives got they refered to some very large knives as skinners. __________________ J, Saccucci Knives, JSK |
