My buddy Charles Conner in Oklahoma sent me this Sanbar Stag horn. Charles is one of the best Scrimshaw Artist in the world, I'm blessed to have him for a good friend. I'm not sure what kind of blade I'll be putting on it. Most of the knives I've been making lately I'm holding back to put in the Lone Star Gun and Knife show in Ft. Worth March 10th. If I decide to do it, I've done enough shows in my life, back in the early 80's I did four a year.

My Damascus blades are the bomb, 416 layers made up with 3 different materials. 5160, 200 nickel and 15n20.
Was thinking a Bowie for the knife show, but then again, Bowies don't sell that well either.

There's a lot of guys that do file knives, some do strictly Alabama Damascus, others make Bowies or flint knives. I don't know of anyone that is doing all Cable Damascus!
Sorry for the long response.

I started working on it yesterday. I'm making a 7" Damascus Fighting Bowie, the guard I'm still working on trying to see what I want to do with it. I might have to have to forge some Damascus for the guard, that's what's going to make the knife pop.
