I traded with a good friend of mine today. He shoe’s horses and has recently started using old files and turning them into knifes…So I traded him a bow for knife.

Here is the bow which included the wood he choose – Hickory riser with walnut and purpule heart, the overlays on riser and nocks are cherry wood. All black locust core wood and sycamore veneers.

The knife he made is a transformed file with local Manzanita wood handle.

The bow is 60″ & 55# @ 28″

The knife fits great in my hand and has some weight to it…it feels good and is shaving sharp!
