Both are very nice Dennis, man I wished I could get my case colors to come out as good as your rifles are. Great choice of caliber too !

Very nice knife and rifle Dennis. It takes a special skill set to make a knife that nice.

Mike, I've been very fortunate to have striking case colors on my rifles. Here's a picture of my 50 2 1/2.

Thanks for the kind remarks. 40 years ago when I started forging, my first blade would pass for a cheap hammer :lol:

Wish I had purchased one from him while he was alive. He was interested in how the various Indian tribes made bows, arrowheads and tools. Was a Colorado state trapper and spend many a lonely winter banging rocks together.. CWO
I have made several "steel" flint knapped looking blades in the past. Very nice profiled blades...but takes a lot of time to finish.
