Walrus ivory belt knife with scrim and display

[John M Cohea]

Here is a set I made a while back for the CKCA Mini Show the night before Blade this year.The knife has a blade of deep copper etched random damascus that is a little over 6" long,the handle is fossil walrus with scrim by Linda Karst Stone, a meteorite butt cap with wrought iron nail head finial,and a copper band with rawhide wraps.OAL is a little under 11".
The display is African Mopani driftwood mounted on a weathered barn oak base with a few twisted wrought iron nails and copper ore nuggets.
The sheath is heavily decorated rawhide over veg-tan,and is of course made by me.
The terrific photos are by Buddy Thomason.
