American Contemporay Frontier is a name / description I can relate to and see the connection with. I however don't see many of those producing it as identifying themselves or their work as N-T , even if N-T would like to claim them. Take this piece, produce by an older gent I know, a hunting...

I have debated, started and deleted a few replies, some lengthy, but curiosity is getting the better of me. I guess I am just not understanding this movement or more specifically its name. When I think Scagel or WW II Theater, or rasp bowie, Tribal or Neo-Tribal is not what I associate those...

I love the size and style of the knife. Moderate sized hunters just seem right to me : ). The handle burl is exceptional, and the blade treatment beautiful. The stainless collar, well, I just can't decide if I like it or not.

I have watched that video many times since I first found it almost a year ago. His technique and skill are just inspiring. I also have been really intrigued by his anvil and tooling. I also noted he started with thin material of his desired thickness. I may not have properly stated my question...

So yo are saying, no scale removal at all, no hand sanding, no files, nothing? Forge to finished shape, HT and photograph?

I think you picked the right name for the big one. They both look great.

Thanks. I have seen other references to TSP and potassiunm permanganate, still trying to piece it all together into a process I can attempt.

That just looks wicked. Did you do anything to stabilize it? I'm just starting to dabble with antlers, but bone has peak my interest as well. and what are the purple sotnes???

Don't really see much to critic there. I like it.

Nicely done!

I found his post about respirators, bought a set yesterday with P100 filters.

Thats great. I think I'd have to frame those pics.

Love the design. Whats the blade length?

Kevin - Thanks for sharing this info.
