Riflemans Knife

[hawkthrower]

A little over a year ago Lone Hunter and I worked a trade and I got one of his beautiful knives. I told him at the time that one of these days I would work up the nerve to do some scratching on the handles. well I finally did and I hope he doesn't think I messed up a really nice knife

I think it looks good, but if you're happy with it then that's the most important thing. Do like the phrase on it too.

 

[LRB]

Looks good to me.

Thank you gentlemen. James makes a pretty fine knife and I would not have wanted to do less than the best I am capable of on something that will remain an integral part of my kit.

Very nice knife! I like the message on the handle too. :thumbsup:

Since you like that message, you will likely enjoy the legend in Latin, which is engraved upon the blade of a bone-handled fighting knife displayed at The Alamo Shrine & which was owned by a nameless member of LTC Travis's command: "Qui peccat habebit honos dormienda."
(He who offends my Honor will have a long sleep.)

That is great info Satx. Lonehunter is my best pupil, and Hawkthrower is pretty impressive with his work also.

Nice work! :thumbsup:

 

[satx78247]

OBVIOUSLY, you are as excellent a teacher of your arts, as you are a celebrated knife-smith.

CONGRADS to all 3 of you.

yours, satx

 

[wattlebuster]

I will have to give it a :thumbsup:

 

[hawkthrower]

Thank you all for the kind words. Wick I hope our boy is out of harms way tonight, along with you and all the others on the East side.

He is good Ron, but the City of Deland is working his butt off right now with clean up and repair. Deland caught it pretty hard. He's had 12 hours off in the last three days. I had no damage at all here on the river, just a lot of tree trash blown all over.

 

[hawkthrower]

Glad to hear you guys are OK. Tell him hard work never hurt anyone but it scares the heck out of me. :thumbsup:

[hoochiepapa]

Looks like you should learn engraving.
Thanks for the hb-I think.

 

[hawkthrower]

Hey Mike, good to hear from you. I'm the worst person in the world for keeping in touch with folks. Hope you all are well.
I better just stick to scrimshaw and leave the engraving to you my friend.

Lonehunter does make a nice knife, there's none nicer except for maybe an LRB knife. You did a fine job of fancyin' it up. :thumbsup:

 

[Cowboy]

Wow! That's beautiful work! :bow:

Respectfully, Cowboy :thumbsup:

 

[hawkthrower]

I have one of LRB's also but he did the fancy work on it.
