nc_cooter Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I have decided to make a series of knives called Turtle Clan. This is the second in the series. The blade is hand forged 1084FG and is 6 3/4" long and is 1 1/2" at the widest point. The handle is mule deer antler. The fittings are poured LF pewter. OAL is 11 3/4". The sheath is veggie tan covered in rawhide from a drum head that someone gave me years ago. The cuff is brain tan deer, decorated with glass beads, bone drops and a LF pewter turtle. Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainely,Bob Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 That is just an incredible knife! The attention to detail is top drawer and the whole package is just so well balanced and visually pleasing.That is truly a knife that anyone would be proud to wear on their belt and it looks like it`s just as much of a joy to use. I look forward to the next in the series and where can I see pics of the first? Thanks for sharing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc_cooter Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Thanks for the nice words everyone.The series was inspired by some small pewter turtles I found. In the Carolinas, a turtle is called a "cooter". The first one can be found here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
