Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2020 I'm not a knife guy but I am a craftsmanship guy and that knife is simply breathtaking. Unbelievable level of craftsmanship. Stunning! I can't even imagine the skill, experience and passion it takes make something like that. Holy crap that is a nice knife. Thank you Mr. Poopdeck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lesg 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2020 I'm not a knife collector but a friend is. Luckily he lives in the sticks with no internet available because his screen would be covered with drool looking at that knife. My compliments to you Mark on a practical/usable work of art.

Yep even the materials on that sucker are enough to cause an uncomfortable wound on many of our wallets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2020 Just how many hours go into making a knife like that? That one, because it doesn't have any engraving on it takes about 70 hours, starting from making the damascus. The one I'm working on now is almost exactly like that one but it is fully engraved. It will take about 100 hours to complete. I'll post a pic. when I'm done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The materials are easier for me to get than the average Joe because I live close to the source. I have a small handle-material business, and I supply to many other knife makers.
