Kees, that's a great coupling of the knife & your grandfather's drawing -- especially when looking at a Lionsteel... :)

You grandfather was very talented!

the picture in the background is an old drawing that my grandfather made in the 40's in the amsterdam zoo

the paper went a bit yellow over the years and that fits the olivewood well i think

"moletta"on the blade is the nickname of the famous michele pensato who is the creator of this knife

thanks j&j !  i like the olive a lot and i must say that the sleipner steel is a great choice for this blade!

i reset the edge from 23 to 19 degrees ( a lot of work )  while i am not planning hard labour for this one !!

it is shaving sharp now  and i am in love i think.....  LOL
