Giraffe Bone, Sheep Horn and Pine Cone Knives

[ironmountain]

We always end up with the weird one of a kind experimental knives that BRK makes.

the group we had had before this one consisted of 3 ugly burl handle knives, a cactus handle and a corn cob handle....
they all sold within a couple of hours of listing.

We had a booth at a local show last weekend. We brought about 10-12k of BRK inventory with us...

The giraffe bone and pine cone knives are sweet....
the giraffe bone has the same coloring as the skin of a braeburn apple. Looks a bit darker than that in this pic...the lower portion of the handle shows a bit of what the rest of the knife looks like.
The pine cone is pretty sweet looking when behind light. you can see a bit of what I mean at the bottom left/right of the handle.
the resin is kind of an amber, more yellow though, color. The light hits it and it's sweet...

here is a pic.
We had quite a few Bison horn knives too...

I've always wanted to collect knives. Those are pretty neat looking handles.

they are sweet...we get some weird ones..most are micarta or canvas micarta. we do get the one offs like this...
some of them can be pretty sweet looking...
the bison horn knives have red liners..sets it off nicely...

I was talking to a woman last weekend at the gun and knife show we had a booth at. Her husband makes some ridiculous knives.. built his own forge, makes the handles himself, makes the sheath himself...
I offered to put whatever he has made on our site. They don't have a bunch of exposure and you gotta help the local guy out. especially someone who crafts stuff like this...
here's a pic of one of George's knives
it's a teardrop damascus with a burl handle...being from up here, it's most likely birch..

amazing what people can do...
i wish i collected knives...i get one that i like and keep it til it dies or i give it to a nephew or daughter/son or pass it down somehow...

i gave my daughter my Buck DiamondBack and kept a knife an old timer gave me at one of the shows we went to..
it's a 1950's Erik Frost hunter...
