My John Cohea Collection

A few years ago, my wife surprised me with the warhawk by John Cohea. She had found him all on her own, with no input from me. I was floored to say the least. On birthdays and Christmases since, she has surprised me with more of Cohea's work. Two bowies, a little drop point and the driftwood display stand. Plus a bracelet and necklace not pictured. I've posted some of John's studio pics before but very few of my own. The drop point knife I've never posted before. I have also learned a great deal about making rawhide knife sheaths from John's DVD's.





This one has been featured in a few knife books.

I was racing the weather and forgot to take new pics of the warhawk. Here's an old one.

Gorgeous weaponry! Have you used any of those to quarter your kills?

Probably won't with any of these but I use my other custom knives.

The bowie on top came from a semi-local maker who does fantastic work. This 10" knife taught me that a knife that size could still be practical if executed just right.

Nice! How do you like that natchez bowie? Tinkering around the idea of ordering the marauder from Cold Steel.

I really like it for the money. It's a nicely made, big knife but not unwieldy. Haven't had a chance to actually use it yet though. I need to make a nice leather sheath for it because Homey don't do kydex.

That one and the smaller bowie are walrus ivory. The big bowie is mammoth.
