Fighter remodel

[Raymond Richard]

I've had this one knife in my nightstand drawer for several years and happened to take a look at it a couple weeks ago. Originally it had a thin osage orange handle that had developed a slight crack. Just haven't felt like attempting a larger new blade so I decided to redo this knife. Pretty happy with what I have now. I used a piece of sambar stag and modern iron to pull it all together and a good amount of time. The blade is W-2 and is 10 1/2" with an overall length of 15 1/2". Weight is 1 pound.

What a beauty, Ray. That is just outstanding! I never did hear if you sang "House of the Rising Sun".

I never did except in my mind. I've replaced it with "Amazing Grace".

What about a sheath?
Maybe one of those cool sculpted leather ones you do so well.

Mark, This one has got the sheath that I originally made for it. Just a plane Jane. For right now I seem to have lost interest in the leather work. Heading to VA tomorrow with hopes of getting another cortisone shot in the hand and wrist. When I look into my crystal ball I see getting part of the right hand and the right wrist fused come spring of next year.
