That's lovely Ken. I really like the frame. How long does it take to make a piece like this from scratch to finish?

God Bless

I usually start by having the blade and spring heat treated, (hardened&drawn).
So being I've got a jar full of them ahead of myself I start with the blade and
the spring, surface grind, clean up, fitup, cut out and mill out the frame , scales,
shield, grind and clean up- 8-10 hours. If you count the time heat treating and
drawing blades and springs and dying and jigging the bone you could probably
add a few hours to that.
