Finished restoring this WWII Quartermaster Knife made in the 1940's by Cattaraugus Cutlery Company. The knife originally cost the U.S. Government $1.50 each under contract. I received it worn, rusty, and missing the leather handle as it had rotted away. While I couldn't remove the heavier pitting without taking too much steel away, I gave it new life with some elbow grease, new stacked leather, red fiber spacers, and a new sharp edge. I'll have a full YT video on the restoration in a few days. 🔥🔥
This medium size hunting knife is called the Mescalero Dawn. Finished it for a customer today. 4.5” blade, 9” overall, 1/8” thick. Made from 80CRV2 carbon steel. Curly Maple scales. Vertical/Horizontal sheath. I have a Video Short of this knife as well as an earlier start-to-finish video of this blade.
Finished this 13-inch Coffin Bowie in 80CRV2 with Honey Mesquite wood. This one is going to a fellow Texan! Video Short: youtube.com/shorts/BJ5udRLszY...
Not a Knifemaking post. I have other hobbies as well. Hard to believe I hunted with this Savage 110 .30-06 in the 80’s. Dad bought it in 1985. I just gave it some upgrades to keep it going for more years to come. I’ve kept the original stock for memories. This rifle use to cost $110 when it first came out, thus the “110” model number.
Heads up! My merch will be on sale this weekend. Grab stickers, t-shirts, hoodies, and more up to 30% off! Check my bio for the link and happy shopping!
Hi guys. Some clarification on my Survival Bowie Knives. The Survival Bowie is made with a 5" blade and is approx 5mm thick. There are two handle versions I've made: 1) straight handle, 2). Coffin handle. I've made variations as well based on customer requests (clip point mod, longer blade, grind, custom sheath, etc.). Two photos below of two versions. Thanks for visiting!
This is another variant of my rustic Survival Bowie for a customer. Handcrafted in 1095 carbon steel / 5.5" blade / 5mm thick / 10.25" overall length / Mesquite coffin handles with copper rivets / strike pommel / lanyard / leather 45 degree draw sheath with brown sheath and black belt loops. She's a stout blade!
