K A Willey Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Here is a knife I finished recently it is forged W2 2 in round stock, the handle and sheath are rawhide I made off of a cow and a calf I lost last spring, The handle is braided with strings I cut from the calf hide and the sheath came from the cow and is studded with solid nickel spots and nickel silver conchos I made and is lined with buckskin, no clay was used on the blade. The blade is 8.5 inches and 13 overall Thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Lawrence Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Beautiful job. I have tried my hand at making and braiding rawhide strings so I know how much time and effort you put into this. Great job. -Art "My sword and my shield are at your command" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sheffield Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I like that! Very cool. My life is like shaving with a razor sharp machete. It's a bit awkward and I feel a sting every now and then, but in the end I'm happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Stephens Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Very unique. Awesome hamon. --Dave -----------------------------------------------"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly." -- Theodore Roosevelthttp://stephensforge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
