A Riverboat Gambler's Knife
I wanted to give this one a 19th century feel so I used the blade profile & handle of a Samuel Bell knife of the 1840's. (Bell was best known for his "long & pointy" type Bowies.)
The blade is of an experimental can mosaic pattern. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks. Gary __________________ Gary ABS,CKCA, ABKA,KGA |

Well first off, looks beautifully executed and seems to fit the theme you described absolutely perfectly. Second, the pattern on that blade is fantastic. WHY CAN'T I LIKE THIS EVEN MORE????

The handle is of interior mastodon with 416 fittings. Since it has such a "busy" Damascus pattern in the blade, I wanted a plain white handle. The raised ricasso area is pinned to the blade and not integral. The guard & frame tang handle were made normally with the two escutcheon pins being through pins to attach the handle.

Well Done Gary ,
I really think any other type of handle would have took away from the knife as well . your fit and finish is stellar also . Fine Craftsmanship Sir . __________________ R. Yates 13 & On Forge Live and Let Live , Do Not trespass on Life or Me! As we are not so kind or forgiving ! |
