Title: Braddock Bowie/Hunter
Post by: Steve Nuckels on May 09, 2010, 09:08:00 PM

I just finished this project, forged from a farriers rasp.  11 3/4 OAL, 6 3/4" blade.  Curley maple handle with silver wire inlay and scallop design.  Mild steel guard with rope file work.

A little Half moon scrimed whitetail shead antler piece on the sheath.

Can you tell who my favorite Bladesmith and influence is?

That's really nice. Mr Moran would have been proud of you. Any one could appreciate the skill and time it took to make that knife. You did well. Lin
