I mentioned a few months ago that my wife was paying for me to have a custom knife built for our 10th anniversary. I picked it up today at the Outdoor Blast and freaking love it. The blade is made from an old saw blade, the handle is Osage Orange, and the pommel and guard are wrought iron. The sheath is hand-tooled. I wanted a kind of old school looking knife for a pig sticker/ field knife and he knocked it out of the park. I couldn't be happier with it. Now I've got to go get it covered in blood and dirt.

Quoted: Nice blade!  Who is the maker? The guy's name is Carl Rechsteiner. Here is his gallery at the Georgia Knifemakers' Guild site: http://www.georgiaknifemakersguild.com/modules/xoopsgallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=album17&page=1 |

It feels great in my hand and feels a lot lighter than you would expect for a blade that size. The blade is a little over 7" long. |
