What a great thread and excellent workmanship!

You have taken on some very challenging patterns , whittlers, multi blades in many versions etc. and they all look spot on.
One of the first things I look at is the execution of the pulls, both long pull and standard nail nicks. Yours are very clean , sharp , well defined. Not easy to get right.

Thanks again, Rhidian!! I'll always treasure and use this knife!!!

Time flies when you are having fun!! Rhid has certainly made more sophisticated knives, but the nature of this gift, and its reflection of one of my favorite old antiques/ancient knives just might qualify it as my most treasured knife !!!

I have to admit, you are a brave man engraving the Bolster and Caps on such a knife

As my dear old Mum would have said " Be grateful for what you've got ".

These ancients are really amazing , what a fantastic idea to have unearthed this model and given the opportunity to great cutlers to remake it.
