Larry Cole Horsehoe knife

[graycrait]

Larry is a fella who a met when I used to hang out at Gayle Hall's shop, mostly talking guns and occasionally getting thrown out by Gayle for interrupting a "deal."

As to knives and materials. I have read a lot about knives, made a lot of sheaths for knives and had quite a few. I know more about knife steel than most, and know how to sharpen them. Haven't made any.

Anyway, I knew that Larry, a retired Clarksville Police Dept Captain, made a variety of things in his smithy and occasionally sells them uptown at a trademens gathering on Saturdays. Larry had a variety of useful and decorative forged items. His snakes are awesome! I picked up this "horshoe knife" today.

Use what you have and if you know how to sharpen a knife it doesn't matter if it is steel from a 55 gallon drum or a horseshoe.

I picked one of these up today and want to get a another knife Larry made out of a box wrench.

That's really cool. I like knives made from second hand objects.

I didn't know Larry still run his forge. I used to get stuff made by Larry quite a lot. That is a nice looking knife. His work of applying brass to some of his items is amazing!

Hmm, I like that. Maybe we could do some of those at the gathering in October Dave, I know I have some horse shoes laying around.
