Purpleheart Rancher Knife

(1/4) > >>

Zion:
Hey yall, I recently got done with a knife for a ranch hand and thought I'd share. Blade is forged from an old leaf spring (5160 steel). Did a triple anneal/quench on it to compress the grain as much as I could with some good results, the blade is quite tough and hard. Handle is purpleheart with brass pins, fully tapered tang and slight distal taper with swedge. Forge marks on blade left by request.

selfbow joe:
Very nice looking knife!

Zion:
Thanks! I appreciate it.

Pappy:
That is sweet, beautiful work. That Should serve him well.  :)
