Just recently completed for a client.Scales are lower bear jaw with dark colored and eep textured mammoth ivory bolsters. The pivot wahers are the headsof square cut wrought iron nails, circa 1872, with a steel pivot pin.Liners and spacer are mild steel and the pins are copper. Sheath is rawhide covered veg-tan, and the display stand is Mississippi River driftwood, recovered at Rosedale, MS.This is a big'un, with the OAL being 11"fro blade tip to canine tooth tip!
The fantastic photos are by Chuck Ward.

That is one amazing, well thought out piece of mountain man art. Mind blowing!

What's the blade made of, you didn't mention that in the rest of your specs? Also what's the other
curly bit of iron poking out of that bag on the display stand?
 
Thanks guys!Dan the blade is 1080. The twisted rod on the display stand is there to keep the sheath standing upright.
 
I am the proud owner of this piece. I have a large collection of Johns work and this is the BEST.I cant thank you enough. KT

I know this was a month or so ago, but I have to bump this up to tell John what a great piece of art that is! A perfect example of form and function working flawlessly together.
