Title: ST. JUDES ----KNIVES----Check them out!!!---PICS
Post by: SKYLER W on May 31, 2010, 08:49:00 PM

Dad and I started planning this set of knives last year just after the 2009 Auction. My buddy, Russell Phillips, Really helped us out with this project. He has been a great friend of our knife making Hobby. He and I did the Knives and Dad and I did the Sheath.
It is a 2 knife set with an African Theme.
--Alabama Damascus. Both Blades were made from the same Billet and it is the Buckshot pattern.
--Heat treated and tested to 56 rockwell.
--Scales are Gaboon Ebony with Stainless Pins.
--Sheath is Vegetable Tanned Leather with Tanned Zebra. Hand stitched. The Button is Cape Buffalo Horn.
--The knives are 6 in. and 7 3/4" overall lenght.

We hope you'll bid high on this Set. A lot of Blood, Sweat and Tears went into this project. We'll tell you about the Blood and Tears when the Auction starts.

I would like to Thank Russell again for his help on this Wilson/Phillips Project.....ENJOY!

Skyler, I know you are too young to know who Wilson Phillips (singing group) was.  Count that as a blessing!     :)  

That is one bad little knife with the armguard!

And the rest of us didn't need to be reminded!!  I think I could add the CD to the auction if'n it's still in the box.  (it was my wife's... honest)

Great job!
