Elk & Willow Bow Sheep Drop Point

This handsome new Cunningham Custom Shop drop point is as good of a hard-use backcountry companion as you could ask for. Easily choked up on for light duty yet tough enough for when serious abuse is a matter of life or death out there.

 

The blade is forged from a 2" 52100 ball bearing steel bar and comes to measure 4" from tip to guard. This knife received the triple quench heat treat as refined by Ed Fowler and prior to being "handled" passed the manilla rope cut and edge chip tests. The brass guard is milled, hand-filed, cold-forged and staked to the tang before I soldered in the gaps from the under side. The black, maroon, white and gray vulcanized fiber spacers collar a mirrored two-piece set of Willow Bow sheep horn spacers with a coke bottle shaped elk antler handle. Overall length measures a little over 8" and it comes in a beefcake custom pouch sheath that could have paddled the Titanic to safety. Maker's marks include "GC" on the blade and "Cunninghammer" on the leather. 

 

This knife is sold, but to order another like it please contact me at 406-561-6212 or email cunninghamcustomshop@gmail.com.

 

Maker's note: the straight lines visible in the steel are a product of  mis-arranged steps of the first and second of three heat treat cycles. Upon discovery, we put these knives through the ringer tests and having still passed, completed the work. I guarantee my workmanship and your satisfaction.
