jarguello Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 My dentist is good friends with Todd Helton (1st baseman for the Colorado Rockies) although he owns several of my custom Bamboo flyrods he wanted to give Todd a 'one of a kind' knife. Well as we all know I'm by far not the best knife maker but I told him I would give it a whirl. Here's what I came up with, I hope he likes it. Knife in hand stiched sheath, notice it's left handed, a personal touch since Todd is a southpaw! Hand forged pattern welded blade (banding straps and bandsaw blades, nickle silver guard and pomel cap, and purple heart for the handle (Rockies colors purple and black) This view shows the blade detail better Engraving by Jeff Graham (sorry for the poor pic Jeff) Thanks for looking Joe E.

Mick C Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Nice. I like the left handed touch. I'm sure he'll like it. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge9001 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 i never knew knives could be left or right handed! I always thought they were ambidextrous seriously, nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
