Hot off the bench
« on: January 20, 2015, 07:28:38 PM »
I have not posted in a while, Thought I would share.
No style or era was in mind at the time. Kinda a fantasy piece (if you will). 

This one features a 7 3/4" blade of 0-1 steel, 5" through tang grip of Birdseye Maple, Iron and brass spacers with Iron threaded button on the pommel, all lightly aged and made by hand.
Hope you enjoy a look. As always all comments welcome.

I don't see anything "fantasy" about it.  It's just a well done piece reminiscent of the bowie or fighting knife era.  Good job!!

I like the stacked file work on the brass.  Real real nice.

Very nice. Well worth the time and effort I'm sure it took to make. I'm a fan.

That is an elegant knife. Not too fancy, not too plain, just simply perfect.

I don't know much about cutlery of the proper era, but I do know that that's one FINE piece of work.  Thanks for sharing, and don't be a stranger.
