A birthday gift for my brother

[dereklee12]

Here is the "Dirty Bird". My brother is a huge falcons fan...I took the comments from my last post and tried to apply them. I'm not completely happy with the plunge lines but they are getting better I think. Its about 9 inches with an 4.5 inch handle. Its 1095 steel, I forget the wood I used for the handle, with 1/8 brass tubes and a beige ish liner. Its needs to be sharpened and etched with dirty bird but Im really happy with the way it came out. Thanks for checking it out and all comments are appreciated.

Looks like you did a very good job on that - like the fighter lines. Show us dirty bird etch when done and bro happy?

That’s a sweet-looking knife! Custom gifts like that are always awesome, especially for someone who’s so into the Falcons. I’ve tried making a couple things for my family before, and it’s wild how much more work goes into it than it looks, especially those details you mentioned like plunge lines and etching. Always feels good to hand it over and see the reaction, even if you think it’s not perfect.
