keeping with my resolution to take and post pics for the fourth year in a row....I finally got around to this knife. I can already see this resolution won't go far again. The whole pic process is a nightmare for me.
Anyway, Faron Moore was kind enough to stabilize some thick hide I had as an experiment. I didn't know the leather had been waxed until he told me, which made it touch and go in stabilizing and shaping it. It worked out in the end....barely. looks like well worn saddle leather. Thank you Faron.
1075 clayed and etched.....polished. Something new, I like it and did 3 more. Got an offer from the first person who saw it. Looks like polished random damascus, it was hard to capture in the pics.
7 1/2" total/ 3 1/2" blade
Red liners/ 416 stainless hardware./ dovetail bolsters.
