9/8 Custom Black Horn " Desperado"
Well I just finished this one up for all us cowboys at heart. I call it Desperado, hehehe. I made the spur in the tail out of solid brass bar stock and just went to work shaping it. Yip, it spins just like a real spur and that is about its only use.
Anyway, the scales are black buffalo horn with a front mosaic stainless and brass pin. Rear pivot is hex head stainless. Tried to make it look western down to the jimps. Added a little scale on the tail with some cross grain grind and some patina to the spur. The blade has a moderate smile. I'm calling it 9/8 but its 30.24 mm to be exact. I had this drawn out a while back and just decided it was time to try and get it done.
Thanks for looking!
Best Regards Kenny

Awesome as always Kenny. Now if you took one of your favourite boots and carved a slot on the back of the heel just so, maybe the razor could be carried there and the spur put to use......
Best Regards,
Adam

Thanks AndrewK! In this case I decided to use a Corian wedge, basically a synthetic solid surface material. Best Regards Ken

Inspired work as always Kenny. Any real cowboy would be happy to have that razor.
I can just hear the talk around the campfire...
