After seeing all those pictures of Big knives, I decided I needed some extra ammo for the Texas Sweat. Too many pointy things in West Texas, a boy needs to be prepared to ward any & all off :)
Texas Toothpick: forged 5150 steel with split elk antler handle...11 1/2 inches oal
Texas Two Step: forged 1080 steel with Dall sheep horn...7 1/2 inches oal

Is it just me or does everyone else notice that that gorgeous background really makes those Tippit knive's just POP??!!
Jeff, like your knives need any help standing out :rolleyes:
I really love that background and find myself anxious for and looking forward to the next one to be displayed on it...the same with Doug's background (his hand holding the knife) such wonderful character in them both!!
As always, a perfect performance!! :thumbsup:

This is cool stuff!!!!!How long does it take to makes knife like that??? congrats..marco#78
Awesome as usual bud :notworthy: :notworthy:
Shell,
Background...New England rock wall with with everything that grows on it :)
bayoulongbowman,
There are about 4 steps...forging, grinding, heat treating, and finish with handle. Then there's the sheath to be made, just started doing that. I never just finish a knife from scratch. Always seem to have a bunch in all stages. So maybe all total 4-6 hours in a knife unless I do so fancy file work around the entire blade...that takes time!
Doc
Wow Jeff, I knew it had to be living, it has soul!! :D
Beautiful work Doc!!!
Dayum...that top one is a SWORD!
Beautiful work Tippit!
Very very pretty!
Great detailing on the blade of that toothpick... :clapper:
