Stag and Copper
? another ?handle first? construction.
I?m finding, (at least for myself), that with some of these irregular natural handle materials shapes/forms,? starting handle first and profiling the blades to go with them seems to help... We?ll see. I?m planning on a scrolled guard and big 12 inch hammer finished bowie blade. |

Tai--if anyone can forge the blade to fit the handle--its you--and judging from the handle the blade should be great. mike

Beautiful... you can really see in the last photo how well the blade compliments the handle.
