Ohiobucks Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 A few weeks ago, I approached Ross about making me a hunting knife, and just look at what showed up today. What a beautiful piece of craftsmanship - from the steel work, to the handle, to the ivory whitetail inlay, to the leather sheath - I couldn't be happier. Ross, thank you very much, my friend....awesome work. The camera from my phone doesn't do this knife justice, I hope Ross will add a few pictures of his own. Check out the custom engraving down the spine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerforged Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks Tom for allowing me to be of service. Here are a few pics I took. The blade right after taking it out of the heat treat oven and tempering it. The handle scales profiled and ready for inlay and then attaching to knife for final shaping. The inlay which you saw a few weeks back. The finished "Lady" ready to have her "dress" fashioned and wet fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Very nice Tom. Lost my little caping knife in Wyoming last fall, got plenty of other knives but really missing not having that caping knife. Considered buying another from cabelas but think I might just have to check with Ross on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
