Started this knife in 1988, and every part of it has been made at least twice.

My brother bought my grinder for my birthday gift that year, and part of the deal was to make him a honkin big butterfly knife. Here's the result.

I've had nothing but misery and mishaps making this thing, and he's convinced I'll never finish it. (That's a conviction I've been actively feeding lately, because he'll have a real surprize when he opens it at Christmas. Heh heh.)

Hopefully my grinding will have improved since I made this one, particularly given the level of the work I've seen around here. You folks rock.

Happy Holidays, work safe, have fun!

Thanks for all the kind words! I'm sure ready to get on with the next projects. And I have a few days off, too.

Take care!! Michael

Always think of your fellow knife makers as partners in the search for the perfect blade, not as people trying to compete with you and your work!
