Knife for a Banquet
« on: March 11, 2010, 12:59:17 AM »
This is my donation for this years Somerset County Pennsylvania, Pheasants Forever annual banquet. This is my first hidden tang construction. As always, I'm open to honest criticism.

Blade O1 tool steel 7¼" long hardened to 59Rc., O.A.L 12¼"
simple fileworked spine for a thumb grip
Handle is Ash with poured pewter bands
bolster & pommel are also made of O1
aged patina on the Blade, pommel, and bolster.
The display stand is walnut, with forged steel supports.

Well we had our banquet this past Saturday, and the knife went for $310.00 at the auction. I was just glad to contribute, Pheasants Forever is a great organization if your an outdoors enthusiast.

Hi Brian,
That is a beauty.  The styling is superb and oozes simple elegance.  I love the simple lines of the handle and it is in perfect proportion to the blade.  I will bet the balance is perfect.

EXCELLENT! You, Sir, are a craftsman. O1 is one of my favorite steels too. Seems you can almost never go wrong in the hardening/tempering. Keep it up.
