    this guy makes the most beautiful knives and swords that I have ever seen. Khalsa Kirpans, The Finest in Handmade Knives & Swords. He makes the handles from different types of stones and silver and gold and just wanted to share this here not for merchandising purposes but for you guys to see this guys art in knifes. I was awed by them. I found them in a lapidary journal. fireitup

    your welcome

    Think the guy is an amazing artist. There's a small article about him in a jewelry magazine I buy. He has won lots of awards at knife shows in the USA and Europe. A way bit pricey for me . Sure wouldn't mind learning the art.

    My first wifes foster father was Dave Yellowhorse, He used to do alot with turquoise and gold. I see his stuff on Ebay every once in a while. I used to sit in his shop when I was a teen and watch him work.

    I'll google it

    :) So you know how to make them. I am curious about that craft so I'm gonna take some time and google it. I like knifes. Not a wierdo or anything only I use french knives at work. I like working with them. Its a skill not cutting ones finger off. Now I'm curious about how they're made.
