Thanks, Stormcrow Yes, it's part of the leg bone, very thick walls and solid as heck. Hollow, of course, so the tang went straight through. Filled with Gorilla expanding glue and tightened with the retaining nut. It's fairly difficult to use bone, as working it can cause cracks to appear...

Hi Calvin, I have to ask, wouldn't a drop point, (such as a chute knife) or a spearpoint or dagger pentrate more easily and deeper, rather than a chisel point? I wonder why your client is thinking of stabbing a guy in the head, the chances of a blade skidding off the skull are significent...

Thanks Darrin and Eric, it's always nice to get nice comments from fellow maker's. Dave

Hi guys, This knife has a 10" blade of 1095. The guard and other furniture are mild steel, the handle is polished cow bone. The blade has been lightly etched, giving an almost wootz-like look to the blade (a happy accident). All comments are welcome. Dave

Thanks, Denny!

Thanks, Guys Chapnelson, yes, there's a few. None that I know of in Northern Virginia (near DC), but there's a fairly large club in the Shenendoah Valley, and another in the southern region of the state, I think. Where are you moving to? Dave

Hi Folks, I've been making knives since 1994. I recently retired and now have more time to pursue this craft. I primarily make bowies, but have been working on some Japanese swords lately. I intend to post some of my work soon on my gallery page. I live in Northern Virginia. I'm looking...
