The Cowboy and the Coyote

[Wade Hougham]

I have been making a lot of this style knife for the last couple of months. First ordered by a cowboy, hence the name.

This one is 10" long with a moose antler handle. The blade is from a saw mill in NE Oregon and the blade dates back to the 1890's. I etched it in ferric and to my surprise the ferric was contaminated with copper. I really liked the look of the copper on the blade so this is the way it is going to stay.

You've done it again! Very artistically crafted combo.

VERY NICE!! Love the sheath also...Wicked colors...The moose handle looks great, most are too large but this one fits....
Is that a bear skull? I've got pieces of a large band saw blade from early 1900's...Mine ain't that pretty!!
