My good friend who used to hang around my shop from time to time and would give me a few pointers on knife making bow refinishing or whatever else he thought I needed guidence in.And if you know me very well you know I could sure use some guidence sometimes.Well anyhow my buddy kicked the bucket a couple months ago.I was bummed out really bad about his untimely death at only 42 years old.That really sucked.But life goes on and I know he would not want anyone setting around crying in thier soup about it eather.So I got that behind me I hope and looking forward I guess you might say..OK enough about that.Anyhow he give me a peace of a blade of some sort(maybe an old knife blade)to make a capper mostly for capping out bears skulls.The steel and I'am gonna spell this one wrong or even worse its not the correct name of the steel even Chrome Vanadieum I beleave. There was acid etching on the blade and I'am pretty sure thats what it said but again not possitive.I figured what the heck I ai'nt to good at this knife making stuff and I've only done a few over the years.But my buddy would sure be happy if I would at least do something with the darn peace of steel.I managed to salvage enough from the blade he gave me to make this little capper.I know I know guy's she ai'nt nothen like any of you fellows ultra fine beautiful work by any means.And I surely ai'nt going to quit my day job any time soon and get into the knife business.But thats some great steel and it takes one super good edge.I will get a pic up asap..Thanks guy's for looking and thank you Daryl R.I.P.my friend....bowdoc
