Glad you like it Cliff! The handle is made out of a piece of that ancient mahogany that you sent me and the blade is from one of those Japanese Chef's knives that I posted about a week ago or so. Excuse the makers mark, I am still practicing on my etching skills. I had to do something different as I would normally just stamp my initials on the blade of each knife that I created up until this point. I actually damaged a blade doing so and had to revert to etching the blades. This is why the three knives I sent out prior to this one. One for you, Dave and Wayne did not have makers marks, because I was in the transition between stamping and etching. I can't afford to get a high dollar etcher and stencils at the moment so I am trying to do it free handed. My hard drive crashed on my main CPU, so when I get it back up, I will post a video for you guys on how to etch in the makers marks on your knives if you choose to do so.
