my son made a knife
« on: April 03, 2012, 07:22:45 pm »
my son came buy the other day when i started ruffing out a slab about 1/2" thick, asked him if he wanted to finnish it up and he took it and came up with this, he did 90% of the work on the blade and 100% on the handle, some sheen that Josh{elktracker} sent me, thank's Josh, i think it turned out allwrite, Bub

Haha, well i never had a son so guess i could use one of those ;D. I was talking about the knife though of course. Love that handle, looks like little knapped inserts in all the holes..
