Awesome blade. I've always admired folks that have the skill to make a knife out of saw blades, files etc. Definitely a keepsake...

He gave me one rule...Use it. Lol he said he doesn't build knives not to be used.

I'd take his advice. The only knives I have that I don't use are the ones I have from those that are no longer with us.

It's kinda a big deal to get one in the family too. So it means alot. My fiance's Dad has one that he got about 5 or 6 years go and its the only one he has.

Is your fiance's great uncle in georgia? several folks, me included, would pay good money for such a gem.

No sir, North Carolina. He doesn't even sell them. He says there are 2 types of people that can't buy his knives, people he likes and people he doesn't like. Lol He also makes them and donates them to wildlife foundations for auctions.

That is awesome, and makes them even more priceless.

Yes sir. I'm 22 and plan for it to go to my kids one day. But only after many many deer cleanings with it

Nice gift.
I understand your future inlaw's logic. Gifting a knife you make is a special thing. Not so much that he gifts them but why he gifts them. I wish I could give mine away like that, but my better half is partial to indoor plumbing.
Nice work, very special indeed.
May I ask where in NC? I seem to be up there as much as here, at my laffin place in Hanging Dog. I'm sure I'd enjoy meeting him.
(You can buy those kind of knives at Bass Pro, but you'll have to meet me in the parking lot.)

He's in the Henderson area. Yeah, knowing the meaning behind getting one of these knives means alot, means how much I've been accepted into the family. I can't wait to get it it's first blood and some much deserved use!
