and now for something different.REALLY different!!

[John M Cohea]

This is one a recently completed,and it was a custom commission.The client said he wanted a bowie,but since he felt stag was overdone,he wanted something different.Well, I like to think I do different pretty well,so I told him of this idea I had.Here is the results.

10 inch blade of random damascus with forge texture and deep copper etch,Handle is bear jaw and fittings and D Guard frame are heat colored wrought iron.The frame has filework,and the jaw scales have copper pins and liners.

The sheath has a beaver tail inlay,copper nugget dangle,and a bear tooth focal point.Photos by Chuck Ward.
