Chacate
Made with one of my favourite woods, chacate preto this Sgian dubh features a horn bolster and brass buttcap. |
Ebony
The dual tones of the ebony really set this piece apart, the deep line of the ebony is mirrored on both sides and complemented by the buffalo horn bolster and buttcap to really make the grain pop. |
A key use and probably the oldest for knives is for cooking and eating. One of the many things I love about smithing is making things with a purpose, that have a use and that do that use well.
I put that thought into every knife I make but especially into knives for cooking and eating because I love to do both these things. |
