Memorial Knives: Uncle Bill and Yangdu Together

[Svashtar]

I hope that the title is OK and does not bring up any sad memories, but this is what I was thinking of when I took these pics.

Uncle's Salyan and Yangdu's Katunje. A perfectly matched pair.

Enjoy!

Very nice.

Wondered if anyone was going to frame the matched set on a suitable matte and put a small caption plate at the bottom.

nice.

He he he ...

The handle on the Salyan is a little mottled and scruffy, just like Bill.

What a great pair!

Those are great Norm. Hey throw in the new GRS and show us a pic of the three together. You sure do have some pretty antler handled knives. Is that your favorite handle material?

It is one of my favorites for sure Andy. But I actually think the dark hill walnut or maybe osage orange is my all around favorite. Guess it depends on the knife. I have satisal on some knives that will just knock your socks off it is so pretty, or horn for that matter; just depends on the knife and the application. Today it was antler.

You guys all had the same thought I did! One a bit mottled and yet strong and well done, and the other delicate and curved with pure white handle. Seems to fit!

Thanks for the nice comments on the pics; they are not nearly as good as some of yours, but are better than the atrocious ones I was taking a few months ago. Maybe in another couple of years and with a better camera I'll get to where some of you are now.

And thank you Yangdu for your comments. Getting a thumbs up from you pleases me very much.

Regards,

Norm
