Thread: Various Knives

First pics of knife # 1000. Bowie inspired Braai/Barebque knife with stainless damascus, bronze pinned bolsters on partial tang, bronze and G10 spacers and Chittim burl handle. Away to be engraved with appropriate markings next week.

A fitting tribute to your milestone. Stunning but not pretentious and still a knife that can be put to work. Thanks for sharing.

Another great example of your craftsmanship. A new design for custom made knife number 1000 .

Another of the Tahr Hunters with scalloped OD canvas micarta scales over blaze liners with lanyard tube on the 1075 blade. Sheath is the closed top model

Knife number 1000 is finished with the engraving done and is now available.
Braai/Barbeque knife with 9 inch stainless damascus blade, coper pinned bronze bolsters on partial tang, bronze and G10 spacers and a beautiful Chittim burl handle. Stamped tan leather sheath/blade cover and presented in soft leather case.

Congratulations on your #1000 knife, its a work of art.

Sold and away to a many times repeat customer in Minnesota and who I would have chosen if it had been up to me. Have developed a friendship with these two over a number of years.

That extra strap is a neat idea.

Bloody nice work bloke
Makes my goto I made from an old file damascussed with a circular saw blade and warthog tusk look like crap

This has been a one off coming from a picture drawn full size and emailed to me. I had the drawing printed so the print had the same dimension as shown on the email with the blade length being the main dimension to be used to correct the sizing of the print.
The customer had seen a movie and wanted a knife similar to what the character had used in the film which I believe was "The last of the dogmen".
He sent me the mammoth molar scales and these I fixed to G10 liners to keep them from fracturing through drilling and shaping which was done with temporary pins as was the brass bolster with all the shaping and finish polishing when they were removed for the blade to be stone washed. Final assembly meant careful clean-up of any squeezed out epoxy at clamp up then all that remained was to dress off the pins in the scales and peen the brass pin through the brass bolster. The knife is secured in the sheath via the strap and stud.

gee that is very unusual looking handle. beautiful knife,should last for generations.

The mammoth molar is really quite striking and the teeth/molars are among the most complex of any mammal. They are composed of plates of dentine surrounded by enamel. A series of these plates (crown) held together by dentine makes up a tooth. The number of plates in each tooth is determined by species and the age of the tooth.
