This is my third finished knife. It was forged from recycled leaf spring. The sculptural work was all done hot, with hammers, punches, a chisel and pliers. The blade was differentially hardened and textured, then patinated in vinegar. The handle is rosewood with copper pins, and was sanded to a high grit before buffing with wax. The copper button inlay is stamped with my touchmark. Please let me know what you think?

Joshua,
Very artistic in design!

Cool! Looks like you had fun!
For only having made 3 knives I think it is awesome. You have really put a lot of effort using different techniques to make that knife. It is quite original and interesting and the horse head alone is a work in itself. Keep it up!
I like that very much and only your third knife, WOW!
Cheers Keith
Joshua, that is really cool knife. It's not something you see every day for sure. Any plans for a sheath? I bet you could make something interesting to meet up against the scroll-guard.
Your photography is really nice as well, these are really clear professional pictures. Great job!

I don't plan to make a sheath for this piece as it's already sold. However, I'd like to make another one in the future, and I agree a sheath and/or display stand would be a nice addition. I should note, the pics were taken by the wood instructor here at Haywood CC; I just did a little editing.
