That's a nice looking knife. I especially love the blade ...tampering? I've also always been a fan of that style of knife.

It is synthetic Ivory, it is very thick, made to go thru a car door, he is also makeing a straight razor, his forge is giveing him trouble, doesn"t get hot enough, I find that design is straight forward and simple in the fact that simple is good. The old cajun

Dude, your son made that? Well done! Looks Japanese, and not just in design,but in the almost naturalistic way he left the patters on the blade. Your boy has skill, sir.

He's making a straight razor?
I actually collect vintage and new/original straight razors. Imagery would definitely be loved once that is done. I, personally, love shaving with a straight razor in the mornings when I'm on dry land. It's a little too difficult while I'm out at sea in anything but the glass surface conditions. haha
