Got my knife today!

[Handgunner]

Thanks Burl! I couldn't be more pleased.

I'm not sure which I'm more pleased with -- the knife or the sheath! Awesome work on both!

Can't wait until deer season to put it to some use...

That's too purty to get all bloody Delton!!!!

 

[Handgunner]

It's stainless, it'll wipe off easily...

Glad you like it Delton. If you wanted to sweeten the deal, I had almost forgot the fine looking turkey totes you make.

I have been out of town some this week. I took my girls up to Pigeon Forge.
Man, we ruled the go cart tracks.
One other thing I got to do was to go to the Smokey Mountain Knife Works. I brought back five fixed blade knife blanks, four folding pocket knife kits, and two sword blanks. (Yes, I said Swords! They were four dollars less than the cheepest knife blank I got. )
I hope to post them here tomorrow. It would be interresting to post the steps and progress as I made them.
All but the 47 pics of sanding and sanding and sanding and sanding and sanding and sanding and sanding and sanding and ...........
I am glad ya'll like the knives and sheaths I made to trade. They were fun to work on.
The gator bones were the crowning jewel for the sheath. At first I thought they looked cheesey, but seeing them here made me change my mind.

 

[Handgunner]

I'm sure I have a tote around here some where..

I was wondering what that bone was on there... Couldn't figure it out to save my life, but I like the look it gives the sheath! It off-sets all the brown... Nice touch!

Bone

The Bone is from the back of the gator. It is the one that makes the ridges of hard plates. I have several of them.
People who have birds like that bone. The shape is good for beak scratching.

How much you get for a knife like that.
