Project Information
This knife started out as a piece of tool steel laying on the shop floor. This knife is a hidden tang style (vs full tang) knife and roughly resembles a Bowie style knife. I designed the blade, forged it in to shape, ground the knife, quenched and hardened the blade and shaped the handle. Material - tool steel, brass finger guard and two different hardwoods.
The deer antlers are from Jackson Hole WY and the display base is Pheasant wood from HI. The leather is a local cowskin that I formed in to a sheath, oiled and double stitched. The pantograph on the knife blade is from Ken Tucker - Master Bladesmith. This was a weekend class in Petaluma CA.
