Stagg Knife Sog Style Blade

I have always liked the Sog style sawback blade so was extremely pleased to receive one in my Christmas stocking! (Thanks Santa Betty). The blade, another from Two Fingers Knives of Idaho Falls, measures 5 3/4 inches is made out of D2 steel.

This was also the first hidden tang knife I have built and the first time I have used Sambar Stagg as a handle material. I have to thank Bruce Bump for his great tutorial on hidden tang construction on Knifedogs.com.

  

This was also the first guard I have profiled. It started as a piece of brass bar stock that I drilled fitted and profiled using a 6 inch wheel. I was very pleased with how it turned out. I am overall very happy with how she turned out and can't wait to take her out hunting this fall and look foward to working with stagg again!! I also have to thank Betty for putting up with me and my new hobby:)

Here are a couple more photos for your consideration.

In the beginning...

Welcome to the first post of Blades and Bolsters... I am proud to be showcasing some of the knives I have worked on for your consideration.

Although this one isn't my first knife it is one I am very proud of. I assembled it from a blank from Two Fingers Knives in Twin Falls Idaho. I did custom file work on the tang in the horseshoe pattern and used buffalo horn and stabilzed black walnut with a red spacer for the grip. This knife was donated to the German Shorthaired Pointer Club of America Rescue Raffle table held in Florida over the last week.

We received word that it brought in $400.00 in the Silent Auction...I am honored and humbled and frankly a little stunned. We put a value on the knife of $150.00.

In the mean time I have been working on some other items and will be posting those over the next several weeks along with some links to people who inspire me.
