awesome file work

I liked your work so much I just had to try it.

Wow thank you all for the awesome comments. I am happy you like my work.

This one is made from a cow elk leg bone. I forged the bevel on the edge and a clip style point. The guard is cut from a piece of structural stainless angle and composite turquoise. Oh yes the gut hook looking thing on the bottom is a beer bottle opener.

This is my second. The handle is the main beam cut from the first knife. The blade is basically the same with the exception of the handle. I left the natural color on the antler, made a copper guard with cocobolo and red with white fiber spacers. The butt cap is the same cocobolo with spacers and two copper pins.

Here you go people. Please feel free to comment, critique, laugh, as you wish hehehehe. This one is made from a rusty leaf spring my brother-in-law gave me. Hand forged on the Buffalo forge and slightly cold blued. I found the bleached, mule deer antler, and carved a guard from brass bar stock. Blade .140 at guard tapers to .065 on the tip. 5" long and 1.75" on the widest. The mulie handle is about 4.75". Overall length is about 10".

njanvilman; Thank you sir for your quick reply. I was curious about that because my Fisher & Norris has the Trenton tag. I acquired this from an elderly friend who gave it to me. He asked his sons if they wanted it first. Neither of them wanted so it is mine. Here are a couple pics.

Anvilman, Is it common for an anvil to have; Fisher & Norris Trenton, stamped on the side?

Mr Turley thats neighborly of you. Santa Fe is a beautifil place. If you are in my area I extend the same to you.

Jerome good call upon further cleaning i found Trenton in a semi circular pattern above ACME.

That kind of looks like the Fisher eagle holding an anchor, island maybe I'm seeing things. Maybe the sound might give it up. I believe she was a meter maid.......Rita.

Looks like a good one Thomas.
