Some very old cobwebs in my head have been disturbed lately.
This is a off the wall, needle-in-a-haystack idea. But, what the heck.
When I was in high school (40 years ago) I made a knife in metals shop with the help of my teacher, a kris style out of a 10-12" file. The handle was brass turned down on a lathe (It was very heavy). On the end of that was a small nome like figure carved out of deer horn.
I won a state Industrial Arts award with it (I remember the teacher got in trouble for letting me make it and knives were banned from future Industrial Arts competitions). At that time, other than the support from that teacher, all reactions were very negative and I put off my interest in knives.
Anyway I traded it for a painting easel when I was in college. I have no clue what happened to it, The person I traded it to, joined the Navy and ended up in Washington state, it may have stayed in North Dakota. or gone with his parents who moved to Texas or who knows.
I realize the chance of finding this is pretty thin.........thin........ but I figure these forums are a good place to ask if someone might have come across it.
I figure it don't hurt to ask, Thanks in advance folks for any information.
