Title: ABO vs Modern
Post by: nclonghunter on October 03, 2016, 08:26:17 pm

A friend sent me a knife made from a farriers file. They have fantastic carbon steel in them and the knife is of great quality. I decided to make an older representation of the knife. The blade is NC Rhyolite, figured since the guy is a NC native, I felt that was appropriate. It is pine pitch glued but not wrapped with sinew yet.

Oh man, what a pair of sisters!  Not sure which one I would ask out first, or be a dirty dog and go for broke asking BOTH!
