Title: Leftover knife
Post by: DANA HOLMAN on February 08, 2012, 08:19:00 PM
This little knife started out as a 4" piece of leftover bar, the forge was hot so this is what i got, steel is 5160, brass guard and buttcap, stag handle, Let me know what you think,

I think it is most excellent!

IMHO it's the "Perfect" size hunter!  I like every detail!

Good work Dana!

Very good use of left over material, Wy if you didn't tell us we would have thought it was on purpose.
