Hi Pratikji
Exquisite work, I am not a knife guy & dont have any knowledge about them. But I am sure building something like these will be a daunting task & you performed exceptionally well

Hi Pratik,
Man - This is simply awesome
After polishing it would look gorgeous....
One query - For the wooden sheath did you use two separate pieces & join them together giving enough space for the blade to fit?
If so you have achieved something great buddy
Way to go "Master Knife Maker"

awesome blade and sheath. Looks like a boker+ Gnome. Great craftsmanship.
A knife makes me feel stronger, keeps my temper down and gives me the courage to fight for the right. If I am wrong, don't correct me...
