KNIFE MAKER
Happy Thanksgiving To all, What I like about knife making is being able to do different things. Here is a push dagger that I just cleaned the patina making crud off this morning. I haven't decided if I want to call it complete yet or not but, I really like what's going on so far.
The blade is double edged flat ground O-1. Patina was done with a 24 hour soak of cold blue and mustard. Blade measures 2 X 4.
Handle is Pa. white tail deer crown taken by my father in 1978. Fittings are cast pewter textured to resemble fur that is bound with a cord with two feathers.
OAL dimensions are 6 inches long, (handle, 5 inches wide.)
Thanks for looking
