Just too many fascinating aspects of that knife exist to even mention.
Extraordinary example of knife making.

Thanks guys! I think you might want to see some of the parts being made too. The pictures are not necessarily in order but I will try to do that.

Funny when growing up I read about such people as you who were true craftsman and artists creating such things of beauty and thought what ever happened to these people and their trades who lived hundred and even thousands of years ago? Did their trades just die off with them?
Being taught that with the industrial revolution all things are now made by machine and casts never knowing people like you still exist and live right in our back yards.
You are truly a Master!   :notworthy:

Thank you sirs.

Jim, If I can make a knife, I know that anyone can. Believe me, it's been impressed upon me time and again that some of the techniques are simple enough when broken up into small steps. Yes, I have been very fortunate to have some training by great makers, but even so, it's like anything else. With a few tricks and good materials and a hat full of stubbornness thrown in, knife making can get very interesting.
