Watermusic

[Templehound]

Decades ago, I read "Water Music" by T.C. Boyle...what a brilliant book...I read it three times...at least.
...and it's been clear to me for a long time that I would make a knife called "Water Music" someday.
Mother of pearl, copper, and 2519 (O7)...the timeless shape was already predetermined by the narrow mother-of-pearl scales;
it fits wonderfully into the Victorian era, in context to the books story...the time when Livingston tore his hair out and tried to "understand" Africa....
An ear for the sheath brings it close to an interpretation of a "Gaucho knife"...the clip is made of heat-treated Ck101.
Cheers
