My son Peyton has been asking for a knife ever since I made the first one. He picked out the rock and helped a bit.

It is a Buck 379 made in China, but small and only one blade. Something he can destroy whittling on rocks and sticks ;D

Thanks for looking.

Thank you guys so much! Peyton loves the knife, but he is drilling holes in a piece of wood right now. I just want him to enjoy and learn to use it safely before it breaks or disappears. Then we will just make another one ;D ;D

Wow! Thanks again!!!!
Ken and Donna, that knife was made from one of the slabs you gave me when I picked up the grinder ;D

To those that worry ;D, Peyton is in training with the knife. he does not get it full time until he proves he can be semi-responsible, but boys will be boys and I have a box of bandages ;D

Beautiful knife and perfectly done. It shows your love for Peyton and your trust in his responsability.
As others said before, he will surely cherrish it as a treasure, along with other treasures - less touchable but not a bit less valuable - which I'm sure you provide to him often.

I am grateful for the comments on the knife, but I am very, very touched by the love and support expressed for Peyton and I as father and son.

Just shows what you guys are truly all about.

Thank you all.
