J. Behring Handmade Fox River Hunter POP CORN Stag
The Blade show was wonderful as expected. Sold out saturday and took many orders. Looked like attendance was pretty good. I managed to stock up on plenty of exotic hides for our sheaths and some really nice legal accient artifact walrus ivory . Also picked up a rare wolly mammoth Rib bone. Its been in the ground for at least 10K years and it picked up some killer color and is as solid as a rock. Out for stabilazition now and when it returns I will make 7 larger knives with it and stick them in exotic sheaths.. They will be badd ass and numbered . So much for all that...This is the first knife I finished since we got back from Blade. Its a Fox River Hunter with a hand forged 5" blade beat down to about .250 thick with a super strong convex grind. Guars is silver soldered to perfection . Thats becoming a lost art in it self. Most everything being made is the same old slab sided no silver solderd guard and mirrow polished . Not my style ! You dont hardly ever see stag/stag or stacked leather knives any more at all... Back to this badd ass treeman . The pop corn stag handle has it all going on as far as color and gnarley bark. Solid as marble too. Custom cut one off spacer pattern. Pinned handle with a heavy duty tang that runs dam near to the end of the awsome musk ox bark butt cap. Blade is a beefy and stamps are deep. OAL is about 10 1/2" or so. The sheath is elephant hide and made to fit the knife perfect. Great rig and priced to sell. Thanks, Jim
