This is a special piece for a very special young lady who is my best friend's oldest daughter - I was asked (by her Mom) to make a "medicine" bag for her 20th birthday. The bag is meant for keeping an assortment of very personal keepsakes/heirlooms given to her by family and friends at the same...

In 50 years of building knives and hawks this is the first spike hawk I've ever done, but now that I've got the bug so to speak it won't be the last. This one is in fact a three way collaboration: 1) The iron head with steel bit was forged by mi compadre, the late Gib Guignard 2) The spike...

These have been done for a while and I finally got around to processing the images.... An early (1820-1840) Cheyenne style - the rawhide covered and carved body tucks under the belt and the beaded flap goes over the top to keep it from slipping down - the two thongs can then be tied to the...

The idea behind this set of goods, was to take a whiteman made item and deco it up Indian and/or Metis style - a not an untypical mixture of cultures/goods during the 1850''s period. The first piece was a circa Mexican loop style knife sheath for a small antler handled Bowie with an antler grip...

This style tomahawk was widely used during the very early 1800's by several tribes living along the upper Missouri River including the Mandan and Hidatsa. The Lewis & Clark expediton records include and early description. The blacksmith of the expedition was kept busy during the winter spent...

My late friend and collaborator, Gib Guignard, forged this fine little camp axe for me many moons ago from a hammer head.

Too tired to type much tonight so I'm just gonna let the pics mostly speak for themselves..... A collaboration with Bladesmith: Jerry Rodri of 9 Tongs Forge… Wild Goo 29 – Bladesmith Tai Goo of course……….. Sometimes the end of the antler just looks great by itself...
