My "Sackett" Bowie

[Church & Son]

Back in '79 Sam Elliott stared along with Tom Selleck in a movie called the "Sacketts". One of my all time favorite westerns...Elliott played "Tell Sackett" and carried a huge Bowie in a shoulder sheath...I've wanted to do one for a long time...Here's Sam with his....

Mine is the version after he spent time with the friendly Indians....
15″ overall with 10″ sharp x 2″ deep….
Forged from a ’40′s Rio truck spring on charcoal, quenched in water…No electricity used..
Bolster poured from pewter and non-lead fishing weights….
Handle is from a big whitetail….
Sheath is rawhide deer over veg-tan with an egg tanned Elk cuff and fringe…..
Shoulder belt is from an old hunting bag I made and didn’t like so it got its-self re-used…No dye on the sheath… dirt, grease and varnish with a few beads…

Kind of loses something with the 2013 attire but ya get the point......

I think that's the best looking blade I've seen from you, Randy. I really like that one. And the leather is top-notch for sure.

"Get the point "...good one! Good movie. Great blade!

That's one heck of a Scapler you have made there. A bit of a Fur Trade into the Hawkins rifle era look to it!
I like that,

I like your taste in movies and I just might like your take on this knife and sheath better than the original. VERY NICE!!!!!!!!

Thanks Gents....This one was fun...
I had it on at realjob yesterday at one of our "kickoff" meetings for a new project...The handle was sticking out of my jacket....
A lot of glimpses and no-one said anything but the meeting was extremely short...
