The Harvey Draper Knive is 12.5 Inches overall in length. He was Warenski's Mentor in the 60's and taught him a lot about making knives. Mr. Draper was killed in an Experimental Aircraft in 1982 early in his knife making career.

That's a beauty of a knife! Camara ain't bad either. You might want to trim the cuticle back on the middle finger of your left hand though!

I smashed that finger real bad a couple of years back while trying to move a rock out of a path for my ATV. The Cuticle has never been the same, I can't do a thing with it!

Hello Dave O; See the boys are starting to have fun with you now...

Good thing it was not your RIGHT hand...

Well I'm left handed(Curry fisted)as they say in Scotland! So I carry a very sharp knife in my Right pocket at all times!

Dang, that reminds me of something that happened back in the 70's. I gave a quote to a guy that wanted to remove a large boulder from his front yard and he bought a whole case of dynamite (6 sticks would have been more than enough

). My gandfather who was a dynamiter in the mines and I gave a quote of $750 to do the job (much cheaper than heavy equipment). There's a lot of work to do, drilling, setting charges, packing, and putting plywood over his windows.

Make a long story short (to late

) This guy put the dynamite at the base of the rock. He set it off and there was a big explosion and every window in the house blew out, that side of the house was damaged and he managed to blow up his car.

The rock-OH YEAH, it never moved.
