Undecided on a great many things
I wrote the entire thing here with pictures and all. But its been killing me not to talk about and show this thing online for fear she would trip over it somehow.
So it came to be that my daughter found out that cheap knifes aren’t worth much more than a dull rock. She went out hunting one week evening during rifle season and shot a doe just before dark. I drove over and found my buddy Kevin helping her with dragging it with the ATV. Then she needed to gut it and she pulled out her cheap knife. It was dull and hardly cut and ripped more than cut.
It was at this point I stated “Its a good thing you brought your hacksaw, but where's your knife?” Right there the next month of “Hacksaw” jokes started on her from myself and Kevin.
All Sonya wanted for Christmas was a knife. Her Mom and myself played it off as we could NOT find what she wanted. We went out for lunch one day and she brought it up. Now for reference I had all this one order and I think I might have had the blank already.
I said “I couldn’t find that G5 knife you wanted and the company that made it has nothing similar. I wasn’t going to buy you and $85 knife that I didn’t even know if you liked.”
She said “It’s the only thing I want.”
I said “Show me what you want, but I don't have the time to order stuff in now and make a knife by Christmas” I conveniently left out I already ordered everything.
She told me last night how she was “highly” disappointed in me until she got that last present and how she was trying to hide it.
Man was it worth every minute. I bought the blank and make my own scales from Cherry burl and made the sheath from 7-8 oz leather.
