Drop Point Small Game Hunter
« on: January 18, 2011, 12:30:43 am »
Here's a little one I just finished.  It's 5.5" overall with a 2.25" blade and has zebra wood/horn scales with brass, copper, and homemade mosaic pins.  The blade is 3/32" thick with a convex primary and flat secondary grind.  The steel is from an old Oldham Saw Company non-carbide tipped 10" saw blade. The blade has a forced patina achieved with lemon juice, tomatoes, onions, green apples, oranges, vinegar, and mustard.  I had a little fun playing in my wife's kitchen.  I also tried a new blade-up neck sheath design.  Thanks for looking, and all critique is welcomed.

very nice knife!!! The sheath/lanyard is pretty awesome too.  Is the sheath portion the stitchless design?  thats my favorite sheath to make for my sawblade knives, everyone seems to love them more than my stitched sheaths even though they only take like a quarter of the time to make LOL. :) :) I also like the way your knife hangs down instead of stickin up i have yet to find a way of securing it with a decent balance between ease of access and not having the knife fall out.  also want to try some of your forced patina methods i have only tried the mustard trick.  man u got me wantin to start a new knife right now, lol. thanks for the inspiration you make a dang beautiful knife my friend.  :)

 That is a sweet knife. You are inspiring me to finish up some I have started.
