I so enjoy putting together a "finished" knife. With the lanyard, the sheath and a really cool piece of ivory, the job of putting this little package together is almost easy. D2 is my favorite steel for carving tools and this knife makes a great EDC.

At the suggestion of one of the forum members, we have begun to hand-rub the blades and bolsters with finer and finer grits. We have been spending more time at the hand-rubbing so the knives look more "finished" and (I think) elegant. I very much appreciate the comments I've gotten from the forum members. The finished product is looking better and better every day. (can you tell that I'm kind of a proud Pappy??? LOL)

Thanks for looking.

Keep Care,

Pappy

Pappy thats GORGEOUS !! I wish i lived near you and become an apprentice
 
I picked up the charity sale carver (just like this one but with an ancient walrus bone bead), and I have to say it has become my primary EDC--even though I don't carve at all. Actually I was never even aware of this particular pattern, and I like it a lot for the blade/handle ratio and the utility of that pointy blade for everyday tasks.

It's such a nice knife at the right price that I couldn't resist carrying it. My only complaint is that I don't have a few more!
