CLA donation knife 2
« on: March 11, 2020, 12:53:56 AM »
There will be a number of nice knives in the CLA auction this October.  This one is my contribution.    1084 carbon steel, hand-forged and hand-finished. No grinders or sanders.  Brain tan sheath with a rawhide liner.











kind regards, heinz

Thanks Gary!  I actually cranked that one out at Woodbury when I was down there with my grandson.  The handle is an elk antler tine.  Wish I had more of those.

That knife and sheath looks like its 200 yrs old! I mean that as a compliment.
