I made almost all with my hand. Grinds I made on bench grinder on stone 60 grit. Rest I made hand. Finish with sand paper from 120 to 600 for blade. Files to metal and sandpaper from 120 grit to 2500 for handle. And it is all :)
I don't calculated it thoroughly, but knife like that i make about 1 weak (without hardening, it makes my friend, who knows how to do) with leather sheath. I know it is wery long time for that knife, but I have poor workshop and I like good handwork.

One week? I could work on something like that for a year and not make it look that nice.
 
I have three knives from Marcin and when you imagine how they'll feel in your hand....that's exactly how it will feel...
 
He, he :) Thank you Jim :p
It is free, do you want fourth ? :D
 
Absolutely beautiful work here Marcin! Your grinds are very impressive and your handsatin finish is incredible. Your leatherwork is off the hook!
