Sam Stoner Coal Forged Sub Hilt Fighter w/ Oosik & Damascus
[SS-SUBHILT]
This Item Has Been Sold and Is No Longer Available!
Sam Stoner
(Outback Forge) Scottsville, KY
Amish Handmade Sub-Hilt
Damascus
Bowie/Fighter with
Oosik Handle & Damascus
A rarity among custom knifemakers Sam Stoner is of the
"Old Order Mennonite" religion
(Swiss German and south German heritage who practice a lifestyle without some elements of modern technology, who dress plain and who have retained the old forms of worship, baptism and communion.)
Sam does not use any electricity or motors in his shop. All of his equipment is connected to pulleys and belts on a overhead drive shaft which is powered by two large draft horses walking on a treadmill. Instead of forging his blades in a gas furnace he uses a hand crank coal fired forge. (which provides for a more even and adjustable air flow).
Hard to imagine, as most of us are inconvenienced by a couple of hours of no electricity, whereas he runs a complete knife shop without electric! The results are truly remarkable and this piece is no exception. This is a most impressive piece!!
This is the first Sub Hilt Fighter Bowie we have offered from Sam Stoner! 9" Blade is made of W2 Tool Steel and 203E Steel which are forge welded and folded to 160 layers. Fossil Oosik Handles (Oosik is fossilized Walrus Penile Bone), is secured with pure copper pins.. Beautifully balanced piece feels like an extension of your arm because the guards are made of 6AL4V Aircraft Titanium finished with a Lightning Strike Finish.
Overall length is 14 3/8". The heavy duty top grade cow-hide leather sheath is also handmade and hand stiched by Sam's wife and daughters . Blade is marked with the maker's initials "SS". Weighs 15.5oz w/o the sheath and 1lb 5.4oz with the sheath.
Turn of the century style made with modern attributes. This knife will appeal to the reenactor, renaissance or rendezvous folks, or those who want a blade made the traditional true way, (coal forged), with the traditional look, while remaining fully functional. Highly Recommended piece.
This is the first shipment of Sam's work in nearly a year! Better get while you can! Includes a hand written letter describing the construction from Sam.
