I recently made this crooked knife for my fellow artist and craftsman Greg Johnson. It feature a unique handle made from a red oak burl. It carves wicked good and fits his hand perfectly. Good luck Greg with your future birchbark canoe projects eh.

Your knife looks like a fine tool. Well done !
I can only imagine how difficult working red oak burl must have been. A fine looking blade to boot.
Thanks,
