Ice skating knife. Final results.

First of all, I appreciate the advice I got in my previous post.
I decided to finish this one. And I totally understand that it is more of a novelty item then a real knife, but it gave a chance to practice with stock removal method, grinding, profiling, working with Micarta, etc.

Definitely hooked and I think I found myself another hobby.

On the side note, knife is pretty sharp and looks like it is holding the edge so far.

That is amazing my friend. Good work!

Really good job. What bow is that ?

Freakishly cool, looks like you ground down the original blade and kept the toe pick, very nice, did you get it re-chromed or did you polish it (sorry untrained eye)?

Just polished. Pictures do not show how shiny it is. Almost mirror like.

Superb! One day I'll have that kind of patience...

Well, for sure it appears you have talent for both styling and craftmanship needed to make knives. I enjoyed very much how you made use of the length. Frank

Very different. Nice work. Did you harden the blade?
