Intended to forever be a take-down.
However, I can seal it against the elements.

Very nice Karl.  Beautiful work as always!!  

Does the frame add much weight and how do you balance it?

This knife balances directly where the face of the guard meets the blade.

Where ever this knife ends up, I hope they/who/what knows what went into it.

Thanks again for this thread.
