So, I found a knifemaker...

[Tanks]

A friend of mine told me about this knifemaker overseas. I stopped at his shop last year and talked to him. An interesting guy, a fourth generation blacksmith. I mentioned that I'd like a unique knife and asked to have an elephant engraving to boot.

Well, he went all out. The knife is a couple of weeks out from being finished. Here are some pictures of the current state of the knife. I can't wait to have it in my hands. I have no idea how much it will cost, I guess I will find out in a couple of weeks.

That looks like a nice one! I'm also looking forward to seeing it complete.

I’ll be honest. That’s about as useful as tits on a boar and to my mind just plain fugly.

That is one impressive knife!
This knife should have a picture taken cutting a tail A rigby double rifle next to it.

It is a bit an unconvential blade shape, but I like how the angles seem to remind one of the angular shapes of an old elephant bull's head. Especially it being damascus (like wrinkles)

It always amazes me how humans can imagine an object and then coordinate their hands and eyes to make that object. Tying my shoes is a major accomplishment for me. Looks like a great adventure in the making.

The photos of the knife are interesting - But the photos of the knife Makers HANDS are fascinating and “tell a story”

A tanto tip with not quite a khukuri angle in the middle. A fighting and chopping knife.
