Got me a horn!
« on: July 17, 2017, 10:13:50 AM »
Been looking for a while and I found this at Old Dominion Forge!

Untitled by Sharps Man, on Flickr

The Bowie was made as a gift from and Old Vet of Korean War that was 85 years age. I buried him five months back. Carried him on many trips to the Doc over the years and this was his way of a return thanks! He made knives for many years; one heck of a fellow he was! We drank a few scotch together...I might add! Gonna miss him!! :o
