blade by my dad
« on: February 18, 2009, 12:25:49 PM »
This is a knife blade my father made about 30 years ago.   I was about 12 and he made three of them out of broken band saw blades.  He literally screwed some wood onto the tang and used them as garden knives.  He passed about 11 years ago and when cleaning out the house I only found the one.   I was just getting into the hobby so I obtained the guard from Dixie and the antler is a shed my mother-in-law found, she is the queen of finding them.     It appears in many of my photos and is always on my belt when I shoot.

what a great memory for your dad, he'd be proud that's a beautiful knife.

I'd be proud to own them as you do.  Your Dad would be proud that you appreciate it so much!

 ... And it's real cool!



Those bullet launchers are awful nice, as well.

I have to agree with the other pards here. I don't have a knife my dad made, but I sure wish I did. What you did with it is a great addition. Maybe someday that knife will be on the belt of one of your kids and he'll have two of you to remember and honor. Thanks for the pics.
