Recently completed work from my shop is this drop point style
knife.  The blade is about 4 1/4" long and has been file worked.

The handle is hand cut beautiful antiqued white tail stag with
brass pins.

Sheath was hand stitched and set up to be worn as a
horizontal carry.  I attached a video to show the knife

Vintage looking trail knife with aged Bone Handle..Leather work

First I want to Send my thoughts and prayers to all that were effected
by Hurricane Sandy.  I also want to thank all of you who sent me
emails and called with concerns and best wishes for me and my family
it is greatly appreciated.  We are all fine. The worse we had here upstate
in my area was high winds that knocked over a couple face cord
of wood.  Other than that we are fine.  Thank you again.

This week I wanted to post this beautiful custom order knife.
A design like this can handle many tasks and has a vintage
look and feel to it.

The blade is about 5 inches long with pattern and patina aging.
The handle is aged bone with plenty of character and has 3
larger sized brass pine.  The spine was beefed up at 3/16"
thick and has been hand file worked.

Sheath was antiqued and hand stitched and the custom ferro rod
was made from a piece of elk antler that was also aged.

If you have been following my work for some time you know I also hand stitch all of
my sheath's and all the tooling and line work is done by hand as well.

I will soon be adding a new page to the site with other leather items I make
as well.  I will post the info here when that is added.

Thank you
Matt

Frontier Carved antler Neck Knife and my traveling hobo stove

This is a knife I made awhile back with an aged crown antler handle.

You can see The backside of the rosette I hand carved a primitive

face.  The sheath was antiqued leather set up to be worn as a neck knife

and the face of the sheath had hand stipple work.

The blade being patina aged and 2 decent sized copper pins in the handle.

On a trip to the woods I made a quick brew for my wife in my

traveling coffee can stove.  I used my leather handled carry

knife to make fire sticks and get things going. 

Thank you

Matt

Vintage style Antler Neck knife from Past work

This is a custom knife I made going back to 2004 I thought
would be a nice one to share.

This was done with traditional vintage styling, with a forged blade
about 3 1/2" long and a light forge pattern, light patina
finish.

The handle is aged crown Whitetail deer antler that the tang
was drifted back into.  The handle has 2 steel pins.

The sheath was done with aged leather and hand cross
stitching around the outside.

Thank you
