Title: New custom knife
Post by: T Sunstone on April 18, 2014, 09:40:00 PM
Just received a new knife from a sponsor on the site, Curt at the wood vault.http://www.thewoodvault.com/finished-products/  A great guy to work with and a super price for a knife of this quality.  Damascus steel and a myrtle burl handle, beautiful.

Thanks very much Terry for letting me make you a knife!
The Myrtle burl was a nice surprise when I finished it as I didn't realize how beautiful it was going to be.
The Damascus blade is produced right here in Idaho at a forge known for it's quality blades,very nice!

Happy Easter everyone!

If that beautiful knife needs a vacation to Texas I'll be more than happy to give her a home for a hog hunt or two.

That is one fine blade! Curt had a couple listed on his website that I was eyeballing. But I think I'll have to wait until after the auction.

Happy Easter everyone and thanks you very much for the kind words and again to Terry for posting this.

awbowman,the forge here in Idaho that produces the Damascus has been doing so for over 50yrs,the steel is the best quality I could find and they are very good at what they do.
Thanks

Just got my new Knife in from Curt, thought I'd share with everyone here.  It's the same blank as T Sunstone but I had
The scales made from Mango. Last year I had Curt cut me a set of Veneers from some killer Mango for a new Bow I was having made so I wanted something to match. He didn't disappoint, he never does, stand up guy.

Beautiful knives .... has anyone had any experience with one of Curt's longbows?  The term 'functional art' comes to mind when i saw photos of some of his recurves.

She does cut but don't know about holding an edge yet need something to gut and skin.  Sharpen her on a KME, little bit of a steel and leather strap, scary.     :bigsmyl:
