Title: Tiny Wharncliffe-Styled Necker
Post by: 4est trekker on May 14, 2012, 10:47:00 PM
Here's a tiny little bugger I just finished up in time for a Mother's Day gift.  My family and I are in the middle of a LONG moving process, so keeping up in the shop (which is currently spread across three properties in two states!) has been a chore and a half.  Anyway, this little guy is only 3 1/4" long, is forged from 1080, has a forged finger guard, a glued and Massey-finished leather handle wrap, and a leather and bone lanyard.  Thanks for looking!  :)

Nice necker Curt! I have been trying to reach you for some time. At least now, I know why I haven't been able to get a hold of you. How about an email or a PM. Jon

Thanks, gents  :)  

Kansas:  You've got a good point, and one I've thought about often.  I always wear mine UNDER a shirt so that, God forbid, it doesn't became tangled OR thrust point first toward my chest.  I've made a few cases from Kydex, and like the added protection they offer.
