It's time for the Ames Plantation Heritage Festival in Grand Junction, Tennessee. Just finished a few knives in time to take to the show. First up though is a new knife display I needed for the Franklin Pumpkinfest. My friend Dan Shaw helped me get this figured out and built.
This will show off up to 17 knives and comes apart into five pieces for easy set up. Made from walnut and plexiglass it should highlight the knives while keeping youngn's from touching the sharp blades. Looks like this guy got a little too close to my Branding Iron.
Finished this yesterday and couldn't post these pics without showing some knives.
Here is a new knife. It is a Damascus blade with Black Ash Burl handle. I like this one. It has a dark brown leather dangler sheath.
A few more new ones. Top is Maple Burl with Copper pins and 1095 steel. Middle is Buckeye Burl/Toxic Green liner with Nickel Silver pins and 1095 steel. Bottom knife is Buffalo Horn with Copper pins with 1095 steel.
The last picture is the two sheep shear knives I made. Antler Crown was used for the handle with Copper pins and they fit quite well in the hand. These pics were posted on facebook.
We are looking forward to a GREAT show at the Ames Plantation. Hope to see a lot of friendly faces there.
