jake cleland Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Just finished this one, which fought me all the way. 3 1/2" 1075 blade. Antler and bog oak handle, with a steel spacer between them. Steel bolster, and silver washer and silver gallery wire fittings. The pommel is set with a customer supplied bixbite/red beryl. Scabbard is copper covered in deerskin suede with silver fittings. let me know what you think... 7 Jake Cleland - Skye Knives www.knifemaker.co.uk "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

Alan Longmire Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Gorgeous! That gallery wire has really added some (subtle!) bling to your stuff. Just enough extra elegance to raise the price a good bit over a non-blingy one. And the ones that fight every step of the way are usually worth it in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this one popping up on Fb and it turned out pure gorgousness! “So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it. I've been there before.” The only bad experience is the one from which you learn nothing.

Charles dP Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 That is awesome Jake and very inspirational. I’m working at the moment on one that is actually quite similar and is really stretching my skill set. I’ll be chuffed if mine comes out half as good as yours.
