Cable Damascus Hunter with elk antler scales with stainless steel pins. Cable damascus bolsters with brass pins.
This is a knife I helped a friends son make. We made 2 different knives this one is for his dad the other is for his step father. I let him do as much as he could with out destroying it LOL. This was forged out of 1 1/2" cable, I did the welding and let him draw it out on my Little Giant. He liked my hunter style so we went with it, he did the profiling. I ground the bevels and machine finished to 800 grit, he did all the hand sanding. I did the pin layout the way he wanted he did the drilling on the blade and scales. I had some cable damascus left over from another knife that we used for the scales. He wanted brass pins so I set him up and let him peen the pins. I slabbed the antler for him and let him profile the scales and shape them, I did the blending of the bolsters and scales. I pretty much finished the knife for him at this point.
I hope you enjoy it it was a lot of fun working with him and he had a blast .
