Forged stalking/utility knife

[juttle]

A bit of an experiment this one. I've picked up a few 'cobraskin' offcuts so decided to have a play! Overall it's 180mm, blade 90mm, handle 90mm. Convex ground, the blade is approx 4mm.

The handle is giraffe bone, which is sealed with epoxy and attached with torx screws.

I don't think I'll be playing with the torx screws on future knives, as I'm not really happy with the finished effect.

What does the hive mind think?

I see what you mean about the torx screws, but it looks a lovely knife, and a stunning sheath.

Smart looking knife but like yourself i am not a fan of the screws, the sheath is very stylish and i like it a lot.

I like the screws and the rest of the knife, good job, I'd buy it

That's another cracker there, mate, and I agree about the screws; but the knife, handle and sheath are great

I do like a nice forged knife!
I quite like the torx screws, might look better if they were black?
Eitherways a nice looking knife

It seems a bit hackneyed, to say again that it is great,so I can only say that on seeing your sheath, I was completely blown away, the knife is good too but not my style. I just wish that I could afford to commission a sheath like that,
but realising the materials and workmanship that has gone into it, I know I never could. I am sure however that,just
seeing it will have given a great many members a lot of enjoyment. Keep up the good work.
