Had a friend of a friends grandmother call me up and wanted an "ole fashion" paring knife
like she used to have as she was growing up but more of an updated version. Did some research
and found that Russel Green works was one of the best manufactures back in the day for these.
I was able to get...

Had one idea and then just kept getting more. I am just getting to the putting together stage and hopefully get that and the handle done...
Been working on a set of chef knives and my wife came out to the shop and asked where all the designs on the knife was.
She has been seeing me working on damascus for the past couple of knives. I am using 1084 now and decided to try my
hand at acid etching. Definitely a new work in progress...
Just as the title says. When you pick out a fixed EDC, what are some of the selling points for you?
Do you prefer more of a drop point or straight back? Do you like more of a flat grind vs bevel grinds? swedges? Bellies?
