Got this in the recent past I received this one. Did not realize it had a Nickle silver hilt when I bought it. Pictures were not too clear. After tweaking the edge a little, I decided it needed to be put to use. I've used it on a couple squirrels, in the kitchen and to carve this.

Talented woodcarvers seem to be a thing of the past. Absolutely beautiful work on the wood. Could you post a photo of just the wood work?

A friend of mine gave me a two foot length of wood "chain" carved from one piece of wood.

I hope you will become a regular with your artistic woodwork complementing a terrific example of fine metalwork.

Many of us applaud intricate workmanship whether in wood or metal.

Please show anything else you might have crafted, accompanied by your Randall.

Gorgeous stag on that Randall of yours.

Tom, that's a beautiful knife there - and an outstanding carving job, really impressive!

Ron, thank you very much for the interesting story of a very special knife. At first I thought it looked like a #5-5 blush
I like it a lot. In fact it would be the ideal knife to carry here because the legal length in Germany is 12cm ( = 4.724 inches) ...
But then again I wouldn't want to scratch the artwork wink

Wow, you are all too kind.

The I use Rough sawed pine that is scrap left over from the various barn building projects from a dairy farmer I know. Softer wood is the ticket. If it is too hard, you need to apply that much more pressure to cut, and when you inevitably slip, what would normally be a cut repaired with super glue and liquid bandage, turns into a solo drive to the emergency room to have yourself sewn back together.

Here is a shot of a shelf that has a bunch of my carvings. I don't carve anything you would recognize. Not one for carving animals or chains or "stuff". I like flowing shapes and making the piece delicate.

If you'd, I can take individual shots of the pieces, rather than the "group photo"





Thanks again for the nice comments,
Tom

P.S.
I'll take better shots of the knife as well. That is the best piece of stag I've ever had. Incredibly solid with hardly any marrow.
