Thank you for your information with what we have learned in the last 24 hours we are looking to integrate the ashes into the handle instead of the blade I'm not looking to Fashion one myself as of this time these are far too important for me to start with in time it would be something I could pursue but not with these with no experience knives are something I'm very interested in learning more about as I collect them and use them for personal protection but as of this moment this would not be a good starter project I have been in touch with mr. Theo we have been emailing each other I have not received a response from him in regards to the last email I sent and now I am nowhere near New York I live in Northeast Georgia but I have asked him if he would be interested in making these four for my nephews again I am awaiting his response thank you again for your help and taking the time and consideration all information is greatly appreciated
