Enzo Trapper with Reindeer Scales

[Sparrowhawk]

Hi all,
My brother-in-law asked me to make a knife to give to his girlfriend's dad for Christmas. He didn't want to pay top-dollar for a handmade blade, but wanted some wow-factor, so this is what I made for him.
It's the brilliant Enzo trapper clothed in Reindeer antler. I made the box and labels to add the "Christmas Gift" feel he was looking for.
Any comments, positive or negative, are always welcome.
Many thanks,

Josh H

Lucky man getting that knife. Nice job!

Thank you Kelly. Good to see another Wilde fan. I am pleased with the knife, though there will always be things about the whole set up that I wish I'd done better.

It will be a rare time when you can look at something you've made, and say I'm completely happy with that.

That's a handsome gift

The labels and box really set it up

Nice looking knife ... it was the word "reindeer" that caught me

That's a lovely package, i think the presentation is excellent and goes a long way to add to the whole "thing" shows care and pride in the product IMHO.
Could've done with a nice wood box tho

WOW!!

Now that's a beauty

I have an Enzo Trapped kit with brown Micarta scales but i've been toying with the idea of using Amboyna burr or some Stag antler (have loads of each!!)..

I've had the kit for ages, I really ought tio get around to building it one day!!


Once again, yours is a stunner :notworthy


Cheers, John

well done indeed Sir, anyone would be proud to recieve such a gift.

Thanks for the comments folks. It wasn't a hard knife to build and I would recommend the Enzo knives to anyone, novice or expert. There are some good kits available too.

I wanted to make a wooden box, and had all the drawings and everything, but simply ran out of time, so had to settle for a cardboard one I had knocking around. Next time I will certainly make a wooden presentation box.

That looks very well put together and your presentation box etc is immaculate! Well done.

Now that looks the business. The presentation case is a brilliant touch. :thumbup: I'd be chuffed to bits with something like that.

The whole package looks really good. Well done !

 

[udamiano]

I would certainly say that it looks every bit special, and I for one would certainly be thrilled to bits to get something like that for christmas, the labels do add that extra 'Je ne sais quoi'
