I am waiting on the delivery of my open water row boat. It is scheduled to arrived tomorrow and I cannot be more excited. I will share it here. My Beloved made me a knife (his 66th) to take with me when I am rowing.
This is it! I designed it and he modified the handle. The knife has a lovely forged blade but he made the comment that he will charge much money if he every makes another (other then the other one that is already forged). Even though it is a difficult knife, unless you have a four foot Japanese water stone, it feels so good in my hand. Something that I will take out with me "just in cases." I am so pleased.
