below are pics. of my first custom fixed blade knife, made by Gaetan Beauchamp. length 8 3/4 in., ATS 34 steel; dyed european deer antler handles. these pics and even those on his website are not enough.
to see the knife directly and hold it in your hands is an experience of beauty, balance and perfection. the knife has a presence that does not come through in the pictures.
the sheath is impressive too, very thick, sturdy leather, covered with african water buffalo hide, made by Denise, his wife.
blade is super sharp and i intend to use it on my next deer (bow hunt, so could be a while).
this post does not do justice to knife or sheath. Gaetan is a Master, i don't believe one could make a "better" knife. roland
