Stuart that knife has real soul it has such a warm look to it I think it is good to keep it in the family very nice
 
Stu, do you plan on keeping this for your personal knife?
 
Thanks again for the comments guys.

Looking forward to meeting you this weekend Dave.

Yes Lorien, this will be my personal knife until I make another to replace it. Then I think this one will wait for my son.
I need to know how well this grind works and how my heat treat worked out.
 
sweet, I was hopin you'd say that
 
Got to agree with everyone else- looks like a really great knife! Thanks for posting and the story that goes with it.
 
Nice work ! have to agree with you about the Charlottes . I 'll have to check out my stash of items I salvaged in my forestry days . .. I found plenty of antler sheds,bottle & some scrap metal .
 
Stuart, very well done. The sheep horn spacer was an excellent touch. Looking forward to seeing the sheath you make for this.
 
Stuart this piece is just beautiful in every aspect, and the fact you took the bearing down with a hand hammer :eek:makes it even more amazing!For someone who has been making knives for only a short period of time, you are a force to be reckoned with for sure!
 
Thanks again.

John, I appreciate the comments. I really wish I had taken a photo of the bearing first just as a record of the before/after.
 
I like it a lot, even if it is not the style I collect. Thank you for soldering the guard, an unsoldered guard is an unfinished knife. (A guardless knife is not worth considering.)
