A Beaver! That's a freakin classic! Don't see them very often.

All your work has been.Greatfinished this one up, making a sheath and sending off to my Uncle as a late Christmas gift. 8 inch blade, forged to shape from a 1950s Chevy leaf spring. full hidden tang.![]()
Nice beaver!
Two of what I thought were My personal knives left me this week....an older HSS slasher that I considered my "fondling knife" and also my current EDC, which looked like a pairing knife.
A guy at work needed a X-Mas present for his wife, and she already Loves the chef's knife I made last year.....I was just getting to start to bond with that knife, and then he asked me for it. I think I need something Special for myself.
Yes, this blank is "just" 8670, but it's very Hard.
And I think this fairly black ebony that I've been hanging onto for a few years might increase it's desirability?
*Just starting this project.

Did you manage to snag one of the 2 that remained ? Excellent knife. I was going to sell it until I started using it - it’s a keeper. 5/32 stock and great edge geometry.. it’s a great slicer. You’ll like it.This pic just cost me $240. Looks like a great edc.
