Fancy Hog Knife 2
« on: April 05, 2010, 11:46:00 AM »
I recently finished another large knife that is kin to one I showed you in March. This one is very similar. The materials are the same and almost all of the features. I just made another one. Lin

Lin, that is soooooooooo sweet.
There are some really, really subtle differences between the two. I can't even pinpoint them - but they're there.
I'd like to have one in each hand.
Did you find any fancy hogs yet?

Thanks, I just finished two more very similar knives. Here they are.
