bone and steel

snakewood3 · August 24, 2011, 05:03:00 PM

Blade forged by fellow tradganger Scott Rousch. I have hafted it into a cannon bone with Vantico structural epoxy then given it an overwrap of Woodchuck rawhide. The rawhide is then coated with West epoxy. Triple braided wrist thong with tooth adjuster.

The sheath is rawhide and braintan buckskin. It has 2 copper rivets and is sewn with doubled / twisted copper wire. The edge is laced with doubled / twisted silver wire. Triple braided neck thong can also be used to attach it to belt, quiver or otherwise. I will be listing this in the sponsors classifieds for sale. Thanks for looking.

That's pretty freaking cool! Is that sharp? It looks like the edge is flat.
How much?

Thanks Mike, yes it is sharp, it's a tool, not just eye candy.

That is sweet! Do you make the chuck rawhide yourself for all of your knives? Oh yeah, how much???

snakewood3 · August 26, 2011, 06:30:00 PM

Yes, I make the chuck rawhide. It is very tough stuff, traditionally used for boot laces and banjo heads in the appalachians. How about $SOLD shipped ?
Thank you everyone for the compliments !
