Title: Couple of gifts I made this fall
Post by: bowtarist on December 24, 2016, 09:48:54 am

I made several "kitchen" knives this year for the ladies in the family. These are for a sister-in-law and her daughter. These are made from a very old carpenters saw blade I sheared and reduced. The one on the left has an autumn olive handle and is for the mom, the other in the sheath has an ipe handle and is for the daughter. I was already making these when my niece saw some of my other knives and told my wife that she wished uncle Derik would make her a knife so I finished her's as less of a kitchen knife and made the sheath too. I'm really happy with the way the sheath came out. These will be given to them tonight. Thanks for lookin, dpgratz

Derik:  You are one handy dude!  The things you make for the kitchen will last forever as a reminder of your talents.  Joe

Thanks for the nice words guys. It was fun to watch them open them. My niece just sat there in shock looking at it. Then hopped up and gave me a big hug. I made all my gifts for that side this year. I was a big hit to say the least. LOL! You all have a gooder, glad to be back on the forum w my archery family. Merry Christmas to all!! dpgratz
