I'm really happy with how this knife turned out. It was commissioned by a long time friend of the family and it was an absolute honour to make it for him and his wife, both accomplished artisans.
The block and handle come from a beautiful piece of claro walnut that just oozes classic beauty and is punctuated by a pair of brass mosaic pins.
The inscription 'me fecit' is latin and translates as 'made me'. This was a common way for craftspeople to mark their work during the renaissance. It was a request of the commissioner a I kind of like it.
