Members dikman Posted January 4, 2024 Members Report Posted January 4, 2024 The detail work on the eagle is awesome. Nice touch on the knife guard, looks like eagle talons on the ends.

Members DwightT Posted January 4, 2024 Members Report Posted January 4, 2024 Beautiful work. The feather detail is awesome. My hands start to cramp just thinking about how long that must have taken. /dwight Quote

I used a pebble background set of tools and kind feathered and faded it our into the plain area of the leather. On 1/4/2024 at 4:03 PM, dikman said: The detail work on the eagle is awesome. Nice touch on the knife guard, looks like eagle talons on the ends. Appreciate the kind words. Glad the knife guard translated to talons. That was my goal. I forged the guard and added in brass foe the talon part and shaped them to be talon like. I also carved the eagle head out of brass. By far the most complex knife I personally have made. It was quite an experience imo. Fun On 1/4/2024 at 4:04 PM, VStew said: Awesome! Appreciate that thank you Quote

I look at some of the best carvers out there Jim Linnel being one and I know I have a lot to learn yet. On 1/4/2024 at 7:53 PM, rleather said: Wow, what an amazing project. Really nice work. Thanks!

Rossr Posted January 7, 2024 Author Report Posted January 7, 2024 Not trying to turn this into a knife discussion but here are a few more shots of the knife. I had the damascus bilet made by a friend and I forged it to shape. Forged the talons and added the brass, added spaces in red white and blue the wood ha dle and carves the eagle head from solid brass. The sheath I also made and carved an eagle head on it and did 3 feathers overlayed in red white and blue. Just thought some folks might appreciate the look. We all make things and the help we all share here and tips etc I know have helped my limited work and skills. Best Ross Quote
