Wow!

I suck at making knives.

These are stunning. How many hours do you have in a knife like that?

It took me 3 months to make this knife.
To think up the full composition - about 2 days
The steel cutting - about 4 days.
Carving the details took the rest of the time.
I make the carving on the steel with cobaltic chisels.
The ram's head is all hand made from one piece of brass.
The woodcarving box - 1 month.

So is the blade HTed and actually functional at least to the point that wouldn't be inhibited by the ornate portion of the blade? More a curious question I have often wondered about these art piece knives.
