Yes Sir, yours is a much better photo in comparison to the one in the article, what with the libation and all. :D

You're quite welcome Mr. Harsey.

Another great Harsey knife. So many good knives ...so little money....sigh.

Rare Picture of Knife Beginnings
 

Thanks all you folks for the kind words here.

I found the series of prototype patterns I made for this knife and one of the drawings. The clear patterns are plexi-glass and are 1:1 scale. The steel pattern is fully hardened and used as a master template to locate both profile and hole centers with. When I do the pre-patterns I use actual size bores so i can make precise hardware sizes on the lathe. This is important for folders.

edited to add, the bottom plastic pattern is Lexan and is my final pattern. Note the never made (yet) clip point blade in the drawing.

That's impressive, especially for a Neanderthal knifemaker! ;)

Thank ya Terry,

I've always thought those Neanderthals were very underestimated by "modern science".

I'm not sure they'd have made good helo pilots (until they found out you could hunt from them) but I know they did some things very well, like stay alive in adverse conditions.
