Hudson Valley Fowler by Ken Netting for Matt Wolf

Cherry stock with brass mounts, all carving and engraving done by Ken. The side plate, butt plate, and thimbles are all handmade. The Chambers early Kentland lock was extensively modified by Ken to resemble the early banana shaped locks found on many early Hudson Valley Fowlers. The 54 inch long 20 gauge round tapered barrel was also one of Ken's creations.

Neck Knife by Gen Mock with Quilled Sheath by Shawn Webster for Jerry Rice

A neck knife by Glen Mock with a hand forged 1095 steel blade and quilled sheath by Shawn Webster. The neck knife has a 4 1/4" blade held into the crown antler handle with two steel peened over riveted pins. The knife is a total length of 8".  I explained to Glen what I wanted and he produced the knife from his forge exactly what I had in mind. The sheath by Shawn has small white beads, finely detailed quill work on the edges of the sheath with blue and orange and white quill work around the outside of two turkey tracks. Very nicely detailed work by both Glen and Shawn.

The "Liberty" Powder Horn and Riflemans Pouch Set by T.C. Albert and Tim Crosby

Tim Crosby made the fancy powder horn with a spiral carved spout end and matching spiral carved plug. The horn was engraved by TC Albert, who also made the pouch and accoutrements. The patch knife is a repurposed piece of vintage mid 19th century cutlery that was used because the fancy decoration on the handle nicely matches the carvings and engravings on the horn.
