clint c Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) My son made this one - pretty cool. Mule Deer leg bone, leg tendon wrap, "knapped" 1084. Better photo one post down, having been having issues uploading. Clint Edited December 28, 2013 by clint c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Cochran Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I have only seen this done a couple times ever and have tried to figure out how its done. Would you mind sharing how you get the 'knapped' look in steel? Looks great btw. Michael Cochran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clint c Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 We have seen several cool variations here on the Forums, but I believe Tom Sterling is the man who started it here. He has a great tutorial here: http://www.bladesmithsforum.com/index.php?showtopic=20922&hl=%2Bknapped+%2Btutorial#entry196323 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Cochran Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Thanks Clint, I guess I just didn't look far enough back before I asked. Michael Cochran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsterling Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Nice job, Clint. That works! Now how about a rawhide sheath to go with it? Here's a link to the best rawhide tutorial I know of: http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/topic/19744#.Ur8GLnnYnKk For some pictures of nice rawhide sheaths Google John cohea rawhide sheath and also Daniel Winkler rawhide sheath or maybe Karen Shook rawhide sheath Tom Tom SterlingTom's Instagram Tom's FacebookSterling Sculptures Web Site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clint c Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 My son is very happy with all the kind words, thank you. Also Tom, funny you should suggest a rawhide sheath as there is one in the works right now! Great minds think alike. Clint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
