Brian Dougherty 1,397 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Very slick. It's all very crisp. If I may, what is a desk knife? -Brian Link to post Share on other sites
Garry Keown 1,438 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I like the design a lot and the carving etc add to it a great deal but the underlying design is really very nice. Von Gruff http://www.vongruffknives.com/ The ability to do comes with doing. Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's a term I picked up years ago from one of the old 'Knives 19xx' annuals - it just denotes a fairly decorative display knife that doesn't really fit any practical or historical typology...

Doug Lester 404 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Beautiful knife and I love the carving on the handle. Kestrels are one of my favorite birds of prey and I think that that knife picks up the spirit of them. Doug HELP...I'm a twenty year old trapped in the body of an old man!!!
