For some time now, when I'm displaying my work in an effort to sell them, I get asked "How's come when you make knives, you're not wearing one?" I try to make the point that I'm in the business of SELLING KNIVES, not wearing them. At any rate, I figured maybe I'd make "Me" one. I did, and I like it, but if someone offered me enough I might part with it. HA !!
The knife is a Scagel style Bowie, blade steel is 1/8 inch 1065, 6 3/4 inches, antiqued, hand forged and hand finished. Bolster and guard are textured nickel steel, antiqued. Handle is a large Arizona Mule deer crown piece, with stacked leather and a white spacer, 5 inches long.
The sheath is top grain veg tanned 7oz. leather, riveted frontier style. Want one like it ? PM me, and let's talk.
I made this knife a while back, and built a plain pouch sheath for it. I figured it deserved a "classier" sheath, so I made this one for it.
The sheath is made from top grain veg tanned 12oz. leather. It is hand stitched with leather lacing, and riveted at stress points. The finish is antique stain. The insert is made from Arizona Diamondback Rattlesnake tailpiece.
The knife is a "Heavy Hunter" style, blade steel is 440c stainless finished to mirror, with filework on the spine. The bolster is nickel steel, textured and finished to bright. The handle is Premium Arizona Ironwood with thong hole and stainless pins.
The combo sells for $200 plus shpng, and is fully guaranteed for my life.
