Title: A Knife for Dave N./TX
Post by: Jeremy on January 07, 2007, 10:51:00 AM

Dave sent me a large box of wood scraps from his bowmaking business to use as knife handles and I made him this knife as a "thank you"  

 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v212/fliksr/More%20Knives/DaveN-1.jpg)

4" 1095 high carbon blade (clay coated and etched to show the hamon), hidden tang, brass guard, mosaic pin, cocobolo and black diamondwood handle.  The pic below shows the dovetailing I did for the handle

This pic shows the temper line really well

Thanks guys!  Doug, that means a lot to me!!  It'll be nice to finally meet you at TX Sweat this year.

Dave, I couldn't remember if you said your main bow was the black diamondwood or the cocobolo... so I put 'em both in!  I'm trying something new with the sheath, but should have it finished up this weekend and sent out early next week.  Thanks again!
