Well worthwhile to include some of the older Carbon Steels. They offer toughness and edge stability, though demanding attention. L6 for instance... Just got (is on its way) a lovely "recurve", in that steel from (who else?) Derrick Tappin of TripleX k., one of a kind. Will be posting a picture of ir...

Glad Sergy posted. I'd forgot all about the sheath pics. These are of the original final finish on the sheath. I later added a grizzly claw with turquoise inlay to the center panel per Huck's request. Can't find pics of the modification (must of buried them somewhere). Huck did say his knife and the one I made Mark will be seen in the last couple of 2015 episodes.

I need a proof reader bad....... Should read "bear" instead of "ear".

Let's wait until it hits the flat screen (if it does) before we start talking signatures. Besides Jan, you and Donnie can watch me forge these out anytime. Sure good to talk to both of you yesterday.

May be late next week on sheath, still have a good bit to do on it and time will be short until then.

Hey Mike, thanks, the knife will definitely compliment it's owner. He's typical back mountain quiet, but not to be messed with - if you know what I mean.

Carl, That is one badass knife. Anxious to see the sheath.

Hey now, that is great congrats on getting to have this beauty on TV.  LOL, Donnie wants to know if he can have your autograph!!!

For you folks that like to watch Discovery Channel/American Moonshiners, keep your eyes open for this to be riding Huck's hip in a few episodes. Huck's a good friend of mine and he's started "working" with Mark on the series. Wanted to use a bear jaw but critters toted it off so Hawg Jaw had to work. Blade is forged from Farriers' Rasp and is 12" (knife is 18.5" oal). Working up the sheath today and should get it to him before weekend. Think I'm going to call it "Moon Sticker".

Will post sheath pics later this week (hopefully).

Enjoy

Ps - one of my gunstock war clubs will do a cameo sometime during the season as well.

Thanks Carl, I really enjoy creating. I'm making 5 of these. Kind of a tribute to Uncle Bob Riggs who made these for our servicemen during WWII. It is 13 " + overall, thinking about a copper lined pretty plain sheath.

Pretty nice "traditional" Greg. Is that 13"+ an over-all or just the blade?

Got your leather figured out?
