New Knife
In the fall of 2014 went to Australia to take part in a Buffalo Cull Hunt. Brought back a couple of horns to use for various projects.
Here is one of them
A local Blade Smith put together this Pattern welded knife for me using 1084 and 15n20. Had fun coming up with the shape,size, metal and was there while he folded and hammer forged the metals together.
Pictures taken with an I Phone and does not do justice to the final product. This knife dressed to pigs this fall with out losing it's edge..

That handle looks fine !

The 1084/15n20 steel mix is a favorite one for smiths , for good reason ! Easy to forge yet makes a very practical blade.

Interesting in that when this handle gets wet with "stuff" in becomes some what tacky.

Perhaps you should have used the buffalo's foreskin, and it would have gotten longer? Big Grin

Nice knife, BTW.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.
