That is a cool looking Cattle knife.
Nice job, first time out Kerry!!:thumbup:
That dark old bone works well with the etched blades, and I am familiar with that style punch - they work a treat, and are easier than most to hone!!
Can't wait to CF and CE it, and use it!!!!
(And I promise to keep it away from simmering pots of vinegar!
)

Man, oh man. It's always a pleasure to see a new knife from you, Kerry, but this is exceptional.

Here's Kerry's first 3-blade on its "home" Yellow background, proof that it made the journey safely!!
Kerry did a great job, first time out! Of course he's been going Knuts
, practicing for years on 1-blades and 2-blades, so it was inevitable he attack one of these.
I've always had soft spots for Cattle knives, punches and patina, and so this one pushes a lot of my buttons!
Tony designed that punch some years back. Slighly hollow ground on the front, with a dagger-like grind on the back, it neatly levers the cut into a circle, and is easier to hone than most other designs. Perfect for the active horse owner, or, for fat old geezers on a diet!
My belt has a LOT of holes in it, unfortunately headed in the wrong direction!
But the knife: semi-sunk joints make it a nice pocket carry, and that rich black bone, undertoned with red, makes it look like an Aston Martin with special upholstery!
The blades are nicely swedged and patina-ed, and slice paper like a fine razor!
All in all this is a fine piece of work! Definitely worth the wait!!
Thanks Kerry!!
