I needed a mental break from making trade tomahawks. While I do enjoy making the 'hawks, I missed the lines and process of the knife. This little Frankenstein is the result.
The blade is high carbon 1095, forged, shaped, heat treated, and tempered. A blister finish graces the blade, giving it the slightest texture which catches the light nicely. The knife features a nice fat tang running to within 1/2" of the end of the handle. The handle is a stacked affair comprised of stabilized buckeye burl in subdued earth tones, white tail antler (stabilized), and brass. All components have been polished to a high satin finish before receiving a few coats of poly. The blade has been dressed with Renaissance Wax.
The sheath is oak-tanned deer. All parts of the sheath have been distressed, textured, dyed, fattened, stitched, and polished by hand, by yours truly. The brass concho can be etched with a design of your choosing, or left plain (I envision the owner's initials here). The tassels are hand-cut sheepskin.
The only mass produced hardware I've used was for the back of the concho where I hacked apart a screw-back rivet and soldered the threaded bits on.
Blade: 4.25"
Overall: 9"
