Bear Jaw Knives
« on: January 02, 2010, 07:05:47 PM »
Here are a couple I just completed. I promised these a while back to some friends. Handles are bear jaws stained with strong tea, blades are 440C stainless. One of the guys wanted his on a stand, the other fitted with a sheath. Now that they are done I can get to work on building my smoothbore!

Yes, the sheath has a raw hide liner, those tool steel blades are tough and SHARP! The jaws came off a 400lb boar I got with my Brown Bess back in '88. Guy's I was hunting with thought I was nuts, no back up pistol either,lookin' back on it now, I was nuts!! :shock:

You boys have some darn nice jaw bone knives there. I'll bet the two men will be tickled pink to get them Buffler Razz. I know I sure would be.
