Pig Sticker - Bowie (More Pics)
ber643:
Got enough spare time (and the urge at the same time - LOL) to put another knife together (my fifth). This one is built on an old, unlabeled Bowie blade blank, sent to me by a friend in a trade for materials. I cleaned the blade up some but it could use a lot more. I may not do it though, as it kind of fits the "rough and toumble" effect I was after, the way it is. The handle, I fashioned out of a piece of Elk Antler I got in another trade, two pieces of White Corian, a sort of guard I fashioned from an old piece of brass, and a large brass screw I filed the head flat on, to peg the end cap on (with 60 min epoxy, as is the handle parts). The knife is 12 1/2" oa and weighs a full 2 lbs. Plenty big and tough enough to finish off a hog:
Pat B:
Very nice, Bernie. So! are you gonna be sticking a pig with this knife? :o Pat
Pappy:
Nice job on that Bernie,beautiful knife.

LOL, Pat, I don't know - I haven't got to go Pig hunting the last 4 or 5 years. However, back when I did my first (4) knives, a friend asked, "Now let's see a nice big pig-sticker, Bernie," and it got me to thinking about one.
Thanks to both you and pappy for the nice reactions. It really feels good in my hand (as I often say - I have big hands for a little "gnome")
Pat B:
Well, now you have a "nice pig sticker". 8)
