My name worked it’s way to the top of Burt Foster’s waiting list and I could not be more pleased with the knife I received. It’s forged from W2 round bar, has walrus ivory handle scales, silver pins, and is 16 3/8 inches overall in length. It is not a small knife. I expected that the knife would be nice, but I was surprised at the quality of Burt’s leather work. Even if it will never be carried, it’s a pleasure to take possession of a knife that comes with a well made sheath.

Not only did I get a nice knife, but I got it when Burt said I would, and that goes a very long way with me.

Nice piece of work. Great blade. Really like the way he made the handle.
 
Burt has really got his "stuff" together, but we would all sure like some larger photos if possible.

Congrats on the Foster......... Not only is he a great smith, he is a heck of a nice guy.

When pinning ivory scales as in Burts' knife in previous thread...are the pins actually peined or are they epoxied in as well as the scales epoxied on the handle of the steel? Seems like peining could easily split the walrus ivory.

I asked Burt about the pins and they are peined.
