Title: Knife Gift
Post by: hillbilly61 on May 19, 2011, 10:40:10 pm

 My daughters boyfriend made this for me. The steel is a piece that halfeye gave me. The handle is Osage that I provided. The blade is 1 1/8' wide and the overall length is 8". Since I'm out of work with a bumbed up knee, I sat around today and made the sheath of it. I think I'm going to give him the steel to make 2 more. One for himself, and one for Rich ;D As long as he treats my daughter right, He can stay around as long as He wants ;) If you are lurking around Matt and see this just smile ;D
