A Straight back custom knife beefed up

This is a custom I made not to long ago and found a

home from my website.

I figured you would like to see some additional pictures.

This knife if I am remembering right had about a 4 inch blade
with a beefed up 3/16" spine.  At the forward point of the blade
there is a tapered swedge clip.   The spine has also been
hand file worked with jimping.

The handle is aged black walnut and the sheath was hand stitched.
The face of the sheath was hand tooled with acorns, scrolls and vines.

This is a custom knife from my past work photos.

A nice style for many uses, hunting and trail use,
also nice for food or freshwater fish.

Blade was about 4 1/2" long if I remember right with a light
pattern aged blade.  The spine was file worked.

The handle is tiger maple with steel pins.   Sheath was hand stitched.

You can see by the pic as well,  this is one of the few photos without
my Indian head penny

Thank you

Deep Belly Spear point Knife

A look at some past work for you to see.  This one was
made awhile back.  You can see from the pictures this has a
very nice wide spear point type blade with hand file work
on the spine.

I believe this one had a beefed up 3/16" spine and
an antiqued white oak handle with 4 steel pins and
lanyard hole.  blade about 5".

This piece also has hand braided leather at the but end
going through the lanyard hole.

As all my sheaths, hand stitched and this one was done
in dark brown.

Went out earlier today and happened to have my camera with me
and saw this longear out by the garden!  Hopefully the beans
are in good shape.

Thank you
