Finally Finished!

This knife and sheath have been hanging on one of the walls in my shop since about May. It wasn't an order so there was no rush on it. I think I just got tired of working on it. It had been up on the wall for so long I had forgotten why it was there. Anyway after I started rubbing the blade out it dawned on me why I hadn't finished it. Rubbing out large blades is a lot of work. Its done now except for putting the edge on it. I'm not sure if the blades is 1065 or 1084 but I know its one of the two. The blade is 11 1/2", overall its 16". Its got a fossil walrus ivory handle and bronze fittings plus one of my two ply leather sheaths.

I did the Washington Knife Show over the weekend. Managed to sneak these awards off the table when no one was looking. Just kidding, I'm not fast enough anymore. I'd sold the hunter right before the show opened but was still able to enter it.
