A Special Knife in Memory of a Special Friend

Ann, It is what Herman calls machine turning...the resemblance to brindle hadn't occured to me. Thanks for your kind words.

Sorry for the loss of Acorn ... I had read the same about why our best buddies only live short lives... the unconditional love of a dog and their ability to sense our moods is incredible...

The knife is a great beautiful tribute and now a keepsake for sure!!

Great story Doug! Sorry for the loss of your dog. I understand.

I just lost my Josi due cancer a few days before last Christmas. It's not an easy thing, she was born right in my house and she never lived anywhere else in her life.

I like your commemorative knife idea.
And kudos to Herman!

Great knife to honor a fittingly great dog. I sometimes feel sorry for non-dog people that never get to experience all the joys that accompany the privilege of having a truly great dog ...

Once again I would like to thank everyone for their kind words. As a renter, I didn't have a place to bury Acorn so she was cremated. Every time I looked at that box containing her remains it made my heart ache. I've mounted the knife in a display case over my desk and now when I glance up at it I remember all the great times we had together...although those memories still bring a tear to my eye now and then. Having a truly great dog is indeed a privileged.
