Step by step (Knife in ivory carved and engraving)

Friends of the forum

I have finished recently a knife. I am an admirer of the famous knives of Joseph Rodgers & Sons. I have wanted that this knife have a style inspired in Joseph Rodgers, especially its leaf and the handle in ivory carved. I am not going to show all the photos of the process, therefore they would be around 70 photos and are many; but I will teach some important.

I thank the patience and I expect the translations they forgive me al English.

Material: Steel 12C27, ivory and alpaca. Engravings will be shown al “ strong water “ in metal and carved of the ivory. Finally, I set him al knife some fine stones (28 natural emeralds).

A greeting and thanks.

I've been following this one on another forum. Simply incredible and humbling.

Montejano is a MOST generous and gifted man. Rarely will you see this level of sharing of such age-old 'secrets'.

A deep bow to you Montejano.
The drawing you made was worth framing by itself , the knife is going to be show stopper.

Simply amazing. You make it look so simple. :p

I would like to see pictures of how you did the engravings though.
 
Friend Django

Thanks by participating.
I have not shown photos of the engraving, because carry not out of the complete process. As I have shown in several occasions photos of the process of the engraving and a " step by step " requires a lot of time to prepare photos, I I have preferred to show other steps of the knife.
