HCK Knives: Bowie with Buffalo Horn and Juma Ivory Snake
Justin Hansen from HCK Knives sent a couple of photos today.
A very nicely done hollow-ground bowie with handle in polished buffalo horn and inserts front and back of Juma Ivory Snake before the brass guard and butt cap. Blade in 440C heat treated with included cryo treatment before tempering for optimal performance.
Justin and Jim's work can be seen on the Facebook group HCK Knives: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1906499186265071/
