Nice "Sunday go to Meeting" knife Joe. I'm guessing that one sat in a drawer 6 days a week. ____Dave

Lovely Whittler Ike ::tu:: ::tu:: ... I have heard that pattern called a balloon whittler and I assume due to the larger balloon-like bolster at the master blade.. very very nice example !!

That is a real beauty and I'm sure it is as sound as any Challenge knife.
Good catch, Ike.
