My two worlds collided and the result is amazing

in The Porch
Good evening all!  I wanted to share something and this group is the group that would enjoy this the most.  I've been a Pearl Jam fanatic since Ten came out in 1991.  Over the last decade, I have been really into knives and knife collecting.  In the last year I have started making knives.  In the process I have become friends with perhaps the greatest living legend of a knife maker and he has been teaching me and letting me use his shop.  Hidden tang hunting knives have become my favorite and I have been making them the last few weeks and getting better.  A few months ago when buying materials, I saw some dyed and stabilized maple that reminded me of the colors from Ten, so I had an idea, make a Pearl Jam themed knife.I ordered a stencil of the Stickman and today, I made the knife.  I envision this to be the first of a lot of Pearl Jam themed knives.  I have a great idea for a sheath but I have to order a couple of supplies first.  Once I get those in and get it complete, I will update this post for any that may be interested.

Thanks for looking and have a great evening!

    That’s absolutely beautiful!  I probably need one! Let me know when/if you think of making some to a sell

    That is a nice knife with a beautiful handle. If you only recently started making knives, you definitely look to have a talent towards it.
