Buffalo

Post by willows »

Hello guys, I present my latest creation.
The line is a classic, slightly revised by me in some points.
The guard (which usually in this knife is formed from a single piece U) is made by milling two semi-U joined by means of two rivets. The guard is NOT sealed, the pairings were made ​​with numerous manual adjustments.

Stainless steel blade MA5M. Tapered shank. Blade, tang and guard highly polished. Guard stainless steel 416. Handle: Buffalo Horn of Africa. Pins style Loveless (octene / steel) made ​​by me on the lathe. Genuine leather sheath.

total length 8.27" - 21 cm
blade length (cutting edge) 3.55" - 9 cm
thickness 4 mm
weight 0.33 lb - 150 gr

I hope you like it ;)
Greetings to all!

Your knives AND your photography are both just splendid. Am I correct in assuming from the title of the thread that the handles are buffalo horn?
