new and different

Post by terryl308 »

Just finished this one up, used a piece of fossil oosik for the handle, this stuff is getting really hard to come up with. But makes a handle with a lot of character, kind of like working with ivory or dense bone. I used a bar of alabama Damascus for the blade. Basket weave stamped sheath,with a wrap around belt piece. Thanks for looking. Terry ::tu::

Terry, that might be your best one yet. Wow is that classic. Love the blade and the handle. And the sheath doesn't take 2nd place either. ::nod:: ::nod:: ::tu:: ::tu::

That is a beauty for sure! ::tu:: ::tu::
Oosik makes a great handle and is pretty heavy after it is stabilized. That usually gives the knife good balance.
