Steve Nuckels · July 25, 2011, 03:17:00 PM

Just finished this knife the "Oglala Scalper" This knife would look good on your hip with your Longbow or your Muzzleloader. Maybe even if your on a War Party on the great plaines!

Forged 5160 edged quenched and etched, stained curly maple with silverwire inlay and stippling. Guard and pommel forged/etched wrought iron from an old wagon.
9 5/8" OAL, 4 5/8" blade. with just a little forge texture on the blade flats near the spine.

Starting on a rawhide sheath via John Cohea's DVD

Chad, I did use a dremmel with a diamond tip. A very small carbide ball cutter will work better. The stippeled area is maple, I stained it then stippeled to see progress, then stained again.

I'm going to use stippeling more and different shades of stain together for more contrast on future projects.

Steve,

Thats exceptional buddy. Love it.

akaboomer · August 01, 2011, 05:33:00 PM

Thats nice, I do favor the embelishment to be on the handle. So that fits the bill to a T.

It's basswood lined tanned cowhide, deer skin lined with a piece of beaver tail and fox squirrel rawhide. Brass spots & cones with horse tail hair. And a scrimshawed & polished deer antler halfmoon.
