A Christmas knife
« on: December 24, 2011, 06:08:00 PM »
I made this knife for a co-worker to give to his father for Christmas. Snakewood scales, 1085 steel Home made mosaic pins and sheath. Blade is about 3" long and overall almost 7". Feels beefy with all that brass up front! The pictures are horrible but I couldn't get any in natural light. Sorry.
