Narwhal Scimitar Two Hands Behemoth

BMK went over the top on this one.

James had a beautiful piece of Narwhal at the Blade Show and half of it was already spoken for, to make a two knife set for a customer. I told James I would take the other half and was thinking about what two knives I would want from my half.

After walking through the Zombie Apocalypse section of the Blade Show, I walked back to James and told him I wanted to keep the piece intact and wanted a two hand Scimitar. His eyes lit up and said "I have this one".

Mudbone was there and we talked about the sheath and some of the things I would like to see on it. Celtic symbols and a tooled Narwhal along with a snap over keeper.

That was the last that we talked and the pic's came in on Friday from BMK. Next step Mudbone does his thing…. I have the back hide from an African Mountain Nyala with a long tail that I may send to Mudbone, to see what he can do with it on the sheath.

Particulars-Narwhal Scimitar, Blade measures 16” tip to guard, and 25” overall- two hands on this behemoth and Grant did the final sanding and polishing.

Can't wait to have this one in hand while watching Game of Thrones!

Tom Flynn

WOW. That is some knife Tom.

Thanks Steve. I think this would do pretty good against the Forged in Fire guys and their tests!

Tom Flynn

Tom,

And I was there to witness exactly what you said. Whew, came out awesome! Great piece really. Can't wait to see what Mud comes up with. Congrats on a great project and kudos to James and the gang.

Warren,

Thanks for telling me that James had the piece!

Tom Flynn

Glad you got it Tom.

Tom
You won't get that past the airport metal detector
Great piece of work and I can't wait to see the sheath
Curious to know how thick the blade is and what it weighs
Super knife

Peter

Warren!!!
Your slaking!!
That should have been yours!!
Beautiful Knife!!!

:-)Rocky

Sexy all the way around, nothing left out on that one!

Over the Top! Can't wait to see the leather work!!!

Tom

Man that is some knife. Not what I would order, but man what a beast. Love the Narwhal.

Tom,

Been staring at this beauty all day thinking you better get Mud one to make a sheath with built-in suspenders.

LOL, for sure. Would make a great feral python wacker in the Glades. While a real beauty to admire, it's actual to use is quite remarkable for tropical use and survival. I'd bet on it to be a real workhorse.

Pap

Thanks Guys!

Warren just sent Fed Ex to Mud with all the wants and some African Mountain Nyala back hide with tail, to see what he can do with it. Some Celtic symbols, some edging and all will be good. Left side/cross draw sheath should work. Open on top to let this big boy out of the sheath with a keeper. Cannot wait to see what Mudbone does with it!

Tom Flynn

Yes sir!

Very Cool Tom ...

Perfect for opening Champagne bottles!

Champagne bottles Tony? Only the "Magnums"!!
Great knife Tom,
Best, Capt. Chris

I like that knife, good size small sword. Dragon slayer for sure.

Man o Man what a blade. It is a real beauty and I am sure the sheath will do it justice. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Nobody mentioned the blue steel fittings. Got one on the way with steel and it's a subdued but cool look.

RAMKING will let you all know just how cool they are today. He and Becky are en route from Seattle now via I90 and will get their hands on all of them. I imagine photos will follow.....

This IS a true story!

Becky and Narwhal; now that's a dangerous situation

Had a short conversation with Mudbone yesterday about the sheath for this big guy, for 40 minutes LOL. He is one interesting dude, an artist that absolutely loves what he does. Doesn't miss a detail and adds what he knows will look best.

He got me excited, said it should be done soon.

Pic's to follow.

Tom Flynn

Must have been right after my 40 min call yesterday afternoon Lol. Yeah, he said he owed you a call. He's got one on the way to him for a big-un sheath.

sounds like talking to Grady...

:-)Rocky

Grady was easy speak. With Mud never know where the conversation goes. He loves a challenge though, it fires him up

Mudbone finished his magic on this Celtic themed sheath. There was over a month of work on this one by Mudbone.

Mudbone is an amazing artisan & craftsman. He was worried that I wouldn't be happy because he couldn't do one of the details I had suggested; by incorporating part of my Mountain Nyala hide from my Africa trip. All I can say is WOW! this one has it all. Serpeants, dragons, Narwhal, hand tooling, hand dyed contrasting.

I think this has been a tremendous collaboration of materials and craftsmen-James, Grant, the BMK Team and especially Mudbone Jones! Thanks guys.

Tom Flynn

The rest of the pic's.

Tom Flynn

WOW,what a build Tom!. It was worth the wait. There's not a detail missing on that sheath but that draggon is just killer. Congrats on a one of a kind special project. It was fun watching along the way.

Tom
Truly amazing, both the knife and the sheath. I am sure you will enjoy them

Peter

Nothing like swinging for the fence & watching the ball clear it!!
Great Job! Nothing like a one of a kind!

Thanks guys; some projects tell you what to do with the pieces. I was originally planning on making two knives with that Narwhal. Glad I didn't.

Tom Flynn

In related news.... Mudbone's gonna be down 6-8 months. He needs hyrnia surgery from lifting this beast, AND Tommy John surgery from trying to fit this monster into that sheath repeatedly!!

Sorry guys.... and by guys I mostly mean Warren.

Hahaha!! The thing is about as tall as Mudbone now that you mention it James !

Funny stuff

James,

That was great! Warren has Mud well backlogged!!!

Tom Flynn

Tom,

Gotta reprogram his brain now from Narwhals, sepents, and dragons, to Roman Gladiators.

You got a FANTASTIC package on that 1 Tom, all the way around. VERY happy for you

Just got done speaking with the man himself. Says we're pressing him and he loves it.
I told him get on with it and looking forward to getting mine back soon.
As always a very interesting conversation; we'll leave it at that.......

If only that were possible!

Arrived home yesterday in the mail and it is incredible!

Look at the size comparison photo of the Narwhal Smith, and the Narwhal Large & Small Sasquatch along side of the BMK Narwhal Scimitar.

Tom Flynn

The Smitty is no small knife Tom. That definitely puts it in scale. Amazing.

It's NOT legit until we see a pic of you WEARING IT!!!!

MAKE IT SOOOOOO......

Yeah I'd sell me that Smitty & Large Sasquatch and start over if I were you! LOL!

Whoooooooooooooooooo Baby!

Now that is a knife! I love everything about that setup.

Thanks Guys; cabinet in the works for the Scimitar and the sheath!

Tom Flynn

Just finished the display case. Poor picture because of the lighting and glass reflections. I think it really showcases and compliments the artistry of James Behring and Mudbone Jones!

Tom Flynn

OUTSTANDING SURRRRRRRR!!!!!

WoW!!!

:-)Rocky

Oh yeah! It will be a very Merry Christmas around the Flynn household this year.

FANTASTIC!!

Open Sezme
Sharpi

Sexy! Nothing like a one of a kind when it's yours!

Got to personally handle this beast today. Trust me, it's huge and heavy. Great project Tom!
