| The Cabin Memorial Knife A special project taken on early this year. The family that lost their cabin to a wildfire wanted to commission a knife to commemorate the loss. I was given remnants recovered from the ashes of the blaze. A brass fireplace finial, a puddle of aluminum, some charred Russian Olivewood, a child's spoon, and a single chainsaw chain. I thought about how to combine all these components for a long time. The blade is 5160 with a san-mai construction incorporating the chainsaw chain. All the other components were utilized in the knife, sheath, and the extra material was used as a display base. |

| I created this blade because I wanted an all-around camp/survival blade. Suitable for chopping wood, or prepping dinner.

Handle is fiddleback Ash and is pinned with heavily peened mild steel pins. Guard is front-fitted, and made of carved, blued, mild steel which is attached by stainless steel drift pins. Sheath is 8oz vegetable tanned leather hand formed and dyed by me. 19 inches in overall length. |
