So Swingman is probably recuperating from housing and entertaining tons
of relatives and his eldest daughter, SIL, and two delightful grand
sons. Those four were here from England for 3 weeks.
Swingman may have posted a hand made knife that Mark, his SIL, made for
him while on this visit using Mark's um er uh Swingman's shop. ;~)
Anyway, as a BD gift, Mark presented me with my own knife. I was
honored to have received this surprise.
Moments after receiving.
The whole knife is 6.5" long. The mesquite was pulled out of a small
batch of pre chopped fire wood.

Two days later another friend/neighbor took the knife and returned it a
week later. ;~)

A prized treasure for which I am honored to own.
Thank you Swingman for subletting your shop. ;~)
Thank you Craig for the carving.

That is gorgeous! Did your neighbor do the engraving on the blade
guard? That belongs in a museum--The Ross Museum to be exact.

That is all very, very nice. Neither one of those can be used for
throwaway's any more. :)
Both are gorgeous pieces.

What, no coat of arms? No silver/gold inlay on the steel??
It's bloody gorgeous, Leon, started out that way and the neighbor/friend
lifted it even further.
