A Work Of Art

I was lucky enough to win the auction knife that Slackline offered for Jackson. He's been working on it after he and I had a few conversations. He did an unreal job and even upgraded the knife to Damascus with an Amber Stag handle. I'm giving it to my daughter as a very special father/daughter heirloom gift.

I thought I would share the progress of the knife. It's ready now and off to the leather guy for a sheath.

Thank You Slackline for an outstanding job. It will be cherished by our family for generations to come. Beautiful Work my friend!!!!!!

It'll be my daughters choice. It's a really top shelf piece of art, but it's still a knife. The way it's made I wouldn't hesitate to use it. Quality isn't just in the looks, it's in the functioning also. Look at the stuff Slackline tested it on. It's a USABLE piece of art if you choose to. "The Proof of the Pudding is in the Making". This is quality inside and out. [emoji4]

I seriously doubt she'll ever really use it. If she does, I hope I'm right there with her. [emoji4]http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2017...760b4384ad.jpg

Wow, that a beauty

That is a very nice knife.

Dang Bill, you're going make me blush:biggrin.
Hearing you talk about your daughter struck a chord with me, being a doting father myself. I sure hope she likes it and that the smile one her face is even close to the one with the deer.

I also want to thank you for your generosity in the benefit auction.

It is definitely made with the intent of performing the tasks that a hunting knife could be called on for. I forgot to get a picture of it, but in the testing I also chopped on a shed elk antler. I don't want to make a knife that will not perform and excel.

I am delivering it to the sheath maker tomorrow.
