    My 18th Birthday Present

    I turned 18 on Aug. 31 and my father had a very nice surprise for me.





    he made it himself, it is solid Madagascar Ebony with a Steel Blade, (no he did didn't make the blade, but he had a knife maker in the area make it) but he set the sterling silver pommel and ring and he inlaid the line-up dot.

    I am so very proud of this Sgain, as it is the first one that I have, and its also 1 of a kind!

    what do you think?
