So, it’s been quite sometime since I’ve posted any knife stuff, literally just finished this project, it’s been a trying experience to say the least. There have been equipment failures, and learning curves, but finally done, thanks Isaac Whitbeck for your patience though this, and thanks to Nate Nathan Cotten for the material. what follows is basically a photo journey of the build, from a hunk of 1084 steel to the end piece, complete with African Blackwood handles, and brass pins
