Hey folks,don't know if this is the best place for this...
I have a friend who wants to surprise his wife with a decent high carbon santuko style knife (she's been wanting one for ages).
It's their anniversary Aug 7th (as he just told me today )
He was going to buy one,and asked me if I'd add some file-work,and re-handle it in some of the brazilian walnut (he did his kitchen floor in it,and wants the knife to accent the kitchen).
He gave me a smokin' deal on a whole bunch of the brazilian walnut when I needed some wood for a project,and I want to get him a blade,trick it out with file-work etc.,as a Thank you...
I looked at some of the ( Jantz,Classic knife kits,etc)blade kits available in the (under $50) range,but they're all stainless steel.
Anyone know of,or have a 7"-8" blade that would fit my meager budget?
I would be willing to offer some sweet,highly figured quilted & lace maple in partial trade too!
And/or,wickedly figured 2" X 3" X 6" blocks of black walnut crotch, (I only have $45 in my paypal)
(I have more,and better scales than this,and a few blocks)
Thanks,and if this ain't the right place for this,feel free to smack me,and tell me where to stick it
Here's a few sets of scales I just cut from the walnut;
a couple of them have some curl!
