Special Heirloom Knife

[JonathanD]

Oh dear! hahaha no fear Emma I am sending Jon my chopper next week to play with, it might distract him from THE KNIFE for a minuet or two, just long enough to sneak it into the locked lexan display case

She touches it and that Hellion will get bloodied.

The blonde mamba made good on her promise and it is now proudly dislpayed in the study.

I missed the updated thread (chuffing work). That is absolutely stunning - truly a masterpiece of design and execution. You have a nice wife there too - the case really works!

That is a stunningly well crafted knife you have there, the lines of the design really work, very nice indeed.

It's just a knife, I don't think any angels will weep over it being cased and displayed. Besides, it was made as a tribute to Stu's work and much more importantly, to a friendship that has developed and which I hold more dear and special than just a regular maker/client relationship. There are more than enough examples of this knife design made by Stu that gets worked everyday by me and other people to make up for a missing one. This was, and is, meant as something special that will hopefully last beyond our mortal years. This knife would never have been made if not for that sentiment. And that surely would have been a major crime.

I remember this thread from when I first joined, but I cannot believe I did not see the outcome until now! Stunning knife. Has it remained on its podium since, or has it been used?
