Ron Hicks Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 (edited) Guys Hope you all dont mind that I post a couple more photos. Im just about to go nuts not being able to work on knives, I crushed the tip of my thumb at work a while back. Spear Point Bowie Over All 11 3/4 Steel was Forged from a Model A Leaf Spring Blade 1 9/16 X 7 3/8 Full Tappered Tang Buffler Slab Handle NS Pins Gaurd is Coin Mokume Red Spacer Materail 600grt. Finish on Blade I took the photo outside Let me know what You All Think Ron Guys I took another photo may not be much better. I used some Simichrome Polish on it, looks like I left some on it in the photo. I use Red Fiber Spacer Materail, it hard to see it was thin stuff. Thats whats under the polish I did not get off.

Alan Longmire Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Lookin' good from here! That Model-A leaf spring is some interesting stuff, isn't it? 5160 it ain't, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Montgomery Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Is it possible to see the knife from other angles? I like what I see, but can't see much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandpile Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 RON- Great work. I like this one and the skinner also. Sorry to hear of your accident. Hope it heals back right. I know right where Urine Hill is located. I used to live 12 miles north of Shell Nob, Mo. Moved back out to the panhandle in '97. Good luck Chuck Bennett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
