Ya attempt to make a skeletonized necker, that's what! :)

I had a small piece of 1/8" thick BG42 layin around and decided to blatantly copy one of Tom Krein's Ultimate Caper neck knives(Ok, so Tom said it was ok). Not sure if I was able to capture the beauty of Tom's knife, but this one sure carries well and cuts good. It's also fairly evenly ground! :eek: R.J. Martin was gracious enough to heat treat this one little blade for me(thanks again, R.J.). Yes, those are Rockwell test marks on the handle, and no, I don't feel like sanding them out. ;) :) There are some scratches still going the wrong way, so it needs a tad bit of light handrubbing here and there, but it's basically finished.

Sheath was made by Tom Krein, and like all of Tom's sheaths, it's a perfect fit. Opinions, please. Don't hold back, I can take the heat. :)
 
I think it looks pretty dang good. Your deck however......;) :D
Now, where's Garsson????
 
First knife I've seen with the 'Unger' mark. Not surprised, it's very nicely done! Did Randy touch up the edge for you...?? :eek: :eek: Scary.

Attaboy. Double the OAL length on an Unger Bowie, and show us that next...! :D

Looks good, but you had Felix Unger make your knife?;)

Some nice wenge wood would finish up those handles nicely!

Best Regards,

STeven Garsson

No, R.J. only heat treated the blade. I still had to finish grind it afterwards. Once I had it close to done, Tom Krein put the edge on it, after he made the sheath. Pretty sharp, this one is.

Bowies are going to have to wait a little while. I'm still getting used to making the little ones.
 
This is the second blade I have seen with the 'Unger' maker mark. They seem to be getting bigger and better!! Keep up the good work, Danbo. :thumbup:
