Ball Grip Belt Knife
« on: March 15, 2014, 06:06:08 PM »

 My latest belt knife. 9"x1 1/4"x 3//16" distal tapered blade of 01 steel. Tapered tang with mild steel bolsters and bone slab grips. Very lightly aged. Hope you enjoy a look.

Good looking knife :)

As the owner of one of Wicks ball grip knives that I use regularly I admit I have a soft spot for them, but this one is even nicer than mine.Very nice Wick!!!!

For any one thinking about getting one of Wicks knives let me say that in addition to being beautiful they also are made to be used.They hold a great edge.In the last couple of years my ball grip has cut up a half dozen deer,too many ducks to count and is the first knife I grap around the house.

A superbly crafted and visually balanced creation LRB. I'm betting it would be a pure pleasure to heft and put to work. It makes a simple statement "I'm ready when you are!"

Wick, as an owner of many of your knives and even use them, this one is really fantastic.
Look forward to seeing more of your awesome work.

    Beautiful knife Wick. Would those be shin bone scales? Almost looks like ivory. Great workmanship,as always.

  Leg bone of some sort from water buffalo I would think, considering the supply source.
