Kissing Crane in Yew

Hogkiller · Post by **Hogkiller** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 11:29 pm

Old style KC horsemans knife rebuilt as a single blade knife with a
cooooool wharnnie blade.

Serious snap, i mean a nail-breaker, with a half stop. The blade has an "instant" patina which is pretty nice and
handmade brass bolsters up front. But the real star is the wood.
Crosscut Yew from England. Just remarkable wood,,bright but at the same time soft in color.

I wish. The whole think was done by my friend Dirk Potgieter in Australia.
You probably know him as Oupa.
