[9x56MS]

Olive wood,. The carvings are of a Celtic knot. Beautiful isn’t it? The addition of the hole for a secure fitting thong was a great touch IMHO.

These are two of my formerly best deer butchering knives, they started life out as high quality 7" blades. Now I've had them for so long they almost seem like members of the family. My question is, when is a knife worn out, and do I just throw them away, or do I have a little ceremony, like disposing an American flag?

I vote for a little ceremony with blood involved

Pictured is my grandsons first design knife he is building all on his own. He layed it out by pencil freehand and ground and filed down the outline. New he needs to heat treat it next. He really seems to be enjoying himself.

Very cool! Keep post pics, a build thread sort of thing. I'd like to see his step by step.

My own crude work. I have made better looking ones to sell but to me its just a tool that will sooner or later break anyway. I churn these out in a few hours so i dont go too easy on them
