This is a knife that I was conned into making. My wife decided that she would barter a knife for a guy to make her some bee hives without my knowledge until the deal was finalized. The way that I figure this is the guy gets the knife, my wife gets the bee hives, and I may get a cheesecake out of the deal if I am lucky. I think that I may have received the short end of the deal.....

It has a 4 1/2 inch blade made from Alabama Damascus steel and a curly maple handle with a black ash burl and leather spacers.

Cross threading is better than two lock washers.

That's beautiful!

Very nice one. I'm sure the hive builder got the best end of that deal.��

Beauty of a knife! So how do I get in touch with your wife to work a deal?

Thank you all for the kind comments. The wife and I are going to have a discussion about bartering. Not sure that it will do any good because after being married for 32 years, I don't know why she would start listening to me now.

Might as well get another one or two started.....lot of support equipment goes with beekeeping.

(if she lets you sleep inside with the a/c on, you're not gonna get a better deal)

Great knife! Beekeeping isn't cheap, though. Trust me.
