Buffalo Blade
"Now THIS is a knife! Created from a AUS6 Stainless Steel blade, this workhorse can take a beating and still put a great edge back on. The handle was crafted from Buffalo Horn and is accented by two mosaic pins which when you take a closer look you can see that it's pins within pins,etc. The handle also has a burnt red colored spacer material much like what modern circuit boards are made from which is there just to give it that amazing profile. The handle itself is thick and feels like a real meaty knife and also sports a Nickel guard and thong-hole pin.
"The sheath I crafted from standard oil-tanned cowhide and hand tooled several layers to get the thickness and the half buffalo skull seen on the front that sits on top of reptile hide dyed to the rust orange color common throughout. The sheath also has a buffalo concho on the back and a couple of buffalo skulls. The custom design of the sheath is also an original idea that accommodates being able to easily remove the knife from the sheath and also to be able and remove the sheath from your belt without having to take your belt off... now that's handy if your 're a hunter."
"The decorative hip tie is FIVE separate strands of leather dyed and braided together and the bead I turned by hand as well to compliment the handle." Mario
This is truly a one-of-a-kind work of art
