The blade is 9 inches, but the camera angle stretches it a little. Thanks

Maybe it's just me, but it's the little processes like fabricating the domes & pins that impresses me the most.
Yes, the knife is stunning, no doubt, but seeing the thought process behind the manufacture of the 'twiddly bits' that transform it from a knife to a work of art, really tickles my pickle.

Very nice...can't stop looking at it!    How did ya get that "handle cap" (for lack of the proper term) to fit so nice?

Thanks guys. I folded the silver plate around the various bends, having to back up a couple of times to re-bend. I then filed a small notch in the over hanging edge of the silver exactly where it bends to provide a miter so it can bend over the sides without puckering too much. I then hammered it over with a small brass hammer. It was tricky but silver is quite forgiving when you just take it slow and hammer it to shape. It was tough stretching it around evenly and drilling the holes and pinning it all without losing ground. I had to make all of the pins, by the way.

:notworthy:  That piece will definitely be in the owner's family for generations to come.  Incredibly well done, Lin.

Truly awesome Lin.  Coffin handles are becoming one of my favorite bowies and this one is tipping the scale even more. Fine, fine work.
