Title: Xmas Present to a Friend
Post by: tippit on December 18, 2011, 10:10:00 PM
My wife takes a friend's horse to Aiken every winter to keep him fit. She noticed my knives at our house and asked if I'd make a knife for her husband for Christmas.  Well it just so happens that her husband is the CEO of a major investment brokerage.  They also do a lot of charity work with the Kraft family as in New England Patriots.  Needless to say I was feeling the pressure.  Anyway this is what I came up with...tippit

Deep blade skinner with very tight curly maple handle:
