Charlie,
One of my best patterns (Remington muskrat) came to me that way! ;)
 
Ken,
thank you for the pictures. It's a very interesting thing to see. Not that there was a lack in this thread :rolleyes:

Fausto
:cool:
 
Finished up #1. Very happy with the outcome. The stag choice was based on a few factors. One was that the stag was specified to be dark/dark black potassium permanganate dyed, and the other was that many of these large working knives featured stag with longitudinal crevices. The bar shield was scaled down a bit from the vintage examples that I had on hand.







 
Looking mighty fine Ken!! Like New Old Stock!!:thumbup:
Maybe 100 years old!! The shield is just right, and the stag looks like my old Blackened Stag Empires!

Looks great, really like how it looks with that stag, has a great vintage feel! As always, beautiful work Ken!
 
WOW Ken - simply fantastic work!!! :eek:

I would bet Lyle just ran to the bathroom. :D oops . . . sorry . . . I will be right back! :D
 
Awesome knife Ken. Too bad it will likely never see a farm or be used for that matter. Really wonderful piece of history.
 
I knew it would be a workable piece of art,I had no doubts.As I've said before,Ken's knives look like they were plucked out of an old catalog.

You got a beauty Charlie,that stag is hafted very nicely,it pushes the bolsters back. Old world quality.

Ken,I hope you found it a very satisfying accomplishment.I know those grinds on the pruner are tough. Thanks

Beautiful! All the craggy goodness, without being too thick.
 
Ken that turned out really well. I wondered how the dark stag and shield would turn out. Well, they turned out quite nicely! I am sure Charlie will be pleased. :thumbup::thumbup:
