OLD CROW








THIS KNIFE REPRESENTS A DEPARTURE FROM JUD'S CUSTOMARY GENRE.

Jud designed this beautiful knife as an homage to the legendary American WW2 ace, C.E. "Bud" Anderson, pilot of the P-51 Mustang "Old Crow". The guard and pommel are made of T-6 aircraft aluminum as are the metallic parts of the sheath. The tip of the pommel is hardened steel. The handle is made from an exceptional piece of French Walnut. The engravings on the sheath depict the FG and FS emblems that were painted on these aircraft.

This knife will be carried proudly in one of the surviving P-51's still flying that bears the name "Old Crow".

Getting ready for the CLA show!

Jud is getting ready to travel to Lexington and we have many photographs to share leading up to this event.
