Hey all,

Here's a link to a picture of my Don Fogg shiv that came out pretty clear. You can just make out the whispy temperline.

OUTCH!
Is that thing triangular in profile?

RogerP · Jan 31, 2003

Very stabby indeed! I really like Don's work and that's a very cool example you've got there.

Cheers,

Roger

SamuraiDave & RogerP,

Thanks, not only is it stabby, but the wrapped handle makes for a very secure hold. No, It's not triangular. The steel is raised next to the knot on the handle, but the blade is more of an oval shape and tapers down towards the point.

Double post...

Wow! I'll bet you that blade took some time to grind. Very nice.

Where and when did you get that? Superb piece there....

Joss,

Thanks, I've had it for about 2 years now, I picked it up from KnifeArt.Com. There have been threads on the subject of knives having soul, and IMO, Don's work certainly has an abundance of soul.

Couldn't agree more: Don's my all time favorite maker. This one shiv is particularly graceful and original.
