Headed to the mail box

Been cramming to get caught up,(aint gonna make it) before a little trip to CA, (for work) and the upcoming busy season here on the Ranch. This Hunter headed to the new owner today. I forged it from more of the Meteorite Damascus I've been playing with. 4 1/2" blade, Meteorite Dam guard, Bighorn Sheep with peened SS pins. Thanks and hope you like it.

That's a sweet one for sure.
From my reading I understand the Dyak headhunters of Borneo also used metorite material in their forging.

Very nice Doug. Some very nice sheep horn also. Thanks for sharing.

OMG.

Very nice. I like the way you pinned the handle scales.

rbcorbitt · April 03, 2013, 05:46:00 PM

Beautiful knife, sir! Really enjoyed your gallery pics!

That's classy as all get-out. Very nice fit and finish work. That baby will hunt!

D.Ellis · April 03, 2013, 07:23:00 PM

Very nice. That sheep horn is perfect.......and I really like how slim your finger guard is. Quite a few hunters in this style are made with a very chunky finger guard. You nailed it in my opinion.

If that doesn't have my address on it (not that you have it....) I'mma be pissed!

Beautiful knife Doug!

TRADBRAD · April 04, 2013, 09:12:00 AM

Doug, I am happy you did not bring that one to the house or I would have been in trouble with the wife. Beautiful knife as usual.

Track · April 04, 2013, 09:42:00 AM

Really nice work. Great looking handle.

Ric O'Shay · April 04, 2013, 01:30:00 PM

That sheet horn is an eye catcher. Nice work!

madness522 · April 05, 2013, 08:22:00 AM

Excellent Doug! Sure wish it was headed to my house...

Shinken · April 05, 2013, 10:52:00 PM

Nice one Doug!

Really like the sheep horn scales!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Bodork · April 05, 2013, 11:13:00 PM

Steve Nuckels · April 06, 2013, 09:40:00 AM

A great looking knife Doug!

If that were on your table at a show I would go head straight to it!

I can't remember ever seeing a knife of yours I didn't love, and this one stole my heart immediately -- love at first sight. I agree with all the complimentary comments from others.

As an aside, Tom Brokaw returned here to Oklahoma City for a speaking engagement a few days ago. I hated to miss it, but had more pressing matters that required my presence. He's a heck of a guy! And he knows how to surround himself with high quality folks too!!!!
