PLEASE, PLEASE!

Looks like an acorn on the pin?

Can't see the other engraving very well, some oak leaves, and what else?

AHH, 'tis a squirrel!

I thought it looked like a Red Kite in profile on the first photo of the pin. Was that BR's old avatar?

Ah. Beaten to the post by Stuart. Definitely a work of art. Beautiful.

Red...I was going to try to persuade you that it was a bit rough for a man of your standing and you might as well let me have it....put I'm not sure you'd accept my argument..:rolleyes:

Beautiful job Stuart....stunning :notworthy

I can't think of a sutable emoticon right now.

All I can say is that knife has become much, much more than I imagined Stu - a humble thanks to you and your fellow craftsmen.

I once was lucky enough to handle a handmade Purdey shotgun with engraved plates and presentation grade wood. Quite genuinely I think this knife has the edge in terms of looks

Thanks.

By the way - serious question - have you ever made a better knife?

I am glad you are back and moreso that you are pleased :)

This is all your design Red, all I did was translate that design into raw materials...

As for better knives... No mate, I don't think so....

It will be with you tomorrow :)

Thats lovely Stuart, work of art mate.....
Red.....You driving to Sheffield now then...?
Jon,

Don't think I wasn't tempted - I may well go out to meet the postie in the morning though :)

Oh and Stu bawlhicks - I crayoned - you built. Many schoolboys crayon fantasy cars - few are ever luck enough to have the real craftsmen take over and see something in the flesh.

The only thing I can improve is some photos of the engraving - I can imagine its a pig to get against the silver though - I may have a try tomorrow (when I've finished cuddling it)

This is the most beautifull knife I've ever seen! I'm not kidding. That is truly amazing. I've got about 350£. If I wasn't going to Scotland this fall, I might be designing one myself.

This knife is perfect. Al my knives are very humble in comparison to this one.

Excellent work Mr. Mitchell and Red!:You_Rock_

*going to my bushcraft knife and trying to feel content about it* :(

That is really something else :) it looks like it will be one of those family hierlooms passed down for generations to come.
The whole package is the nicest thing i have seen for a long time :)

And make sure to make plenty of pics. By plenty I mean, well I don't know. How about 100 pics? :)

Have a lot of fun with your knife and I'm awaiting the first action pics.
