Native American Peacekeeper

[Wade Hougham]

This one is 19 1/4" long with a hand forged leaf spring blade that is 7 3/4" from tip to sinew, at the widest point the blade is 2 1/4". The handle is elk antler with a rawhide wrap that has brass tacks and natural gut sinew. There are pheasant and guniea hen feathers with brass cones and a hemp cord tie.

As always comments and critique are welcomed.

Wade I was going to learn how to make knifes but decided I could never make anything half as nice as you do and Its a lot more fun to work with you and wait to see what great piece you will do next. Thanks for showing. KT

Dwane,
Thank you for the comment.
The head goes through the handle and is attached with 3 pins, epoxy and the sinew.
