I came home from hunting Sunday afternoon and had a box from Minnesota sitting on the table. I might not be home for Christmas so I opened it. Inside was one, cool looking, Gurkha style, Goldstone bladed, knife with a really sweet stand. Tim, thank you , very much. It is going to be right up front with the knives I've gotten from all my knapper buddies.
  Your knapping has come a long way. That Goldstone has always given me fits because it always seems to step when I mess with it. Is the handle Poplar? And what is the wood the stand is made from? It matches the blade real close in color.
  Thanks, Sailordad, and MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Eddie,

i am so glad you like it.that is to date the longest blade i have made.
the handle i made from a piece of black walnut.it was a small branch that i worked down by hand with a rasp.
i did that to try and get the grain to match the arc of the knife.i left just a touch of sap wood on it in a couple of spots.
it has 15 coats of tongue oil hand rubbed on it to get the high luster shine like that.
the stand is made from either bloodwood or paduak(cant remember which i had laying on the bench)but i think its the blood wood.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

                                                        peace,
                                                              tim

well iwasnt having very good day at work today,everything that could go wrong did.
when i came home from lunch i was in a bitter mood.
when what caught my eye.
there was a box wedged in m y front storm door.
well this got me curious,so once i got in the house and made my sandwich i sat donw and
opened the box up and man oh man that made my day.
i was elated with what was inside,it turned my crappy day into one of sheer excitment
i got a very very sweet hawk.
man i realy wanted one of these too.
this was a gift from John Ively(i hope i spelled it right hard to read sorry)
any how this thing is sweet,looks hand forged to me.
gotta ask how ya made the head.
all i know is it could be lethal.i took a half swing and just let the weight of my arm drive the hawk down and it went .75 inch ito a 2x4

thanks John i love it man
hers a pic

allright sailordad, the hawk made it to you safe.  well it is handforged from a railroad spike, with a osage handle.   hold itby the base and give it a whirl at a tree!  it will stick pretty good, and you shouald get many years of good use from the head, merry christmas, knap.

Yeah I'm diggin' the photos of all the stuff you guys took the time to make for each other, I'm always glad I get to see this going on here. This really shows the spirit I see and read on this forum and it really makes for  a good Christmas season even though I didn't participate in this trade it's so cool to be able to see it happening. Merry Christmas (early).
