Trade knife

[Rancid Crabtree]

I met a local fella on another forum. He is a professional photographer and we got to talking about my son's Senior pictures for the upcoming school yearbook.

He said that we should do a trade for services. He would come to our house and take the photos if I would make him a knife and sheath. A straight up trade.

I told him to pick a knife that he liked and I would make it using the materials of his choice and decorate the sheath based on his input. This is called the"Trade Knife"

I used O1 steel and he picked brass and bloodwood.
