Steve Hoel's personal knife, engraved by Lynton MacKenzie

[Barry Lee Hands]

I was at Steve Hoel's shop last week, and he showed me this sweet knife.
If I remember the story right, this knife was engraved by Lynton for Steve as a suprise for his birthday around 1984, and Steve still has it.
When Steve made the knife, he didnt even have a surface grinder or a mill.
Just files, sandpaper and drills.

Lynton's work is timeless and always a pleasure to see.

I haven't seen Steve in years and he looks fit as a fiddle!

I think that knife is in the smoke print book. It's nice to see the actual piece.

Sam, he is very active, and during my visit your name came up more than once when he was relating knife, knife show and engraving tales.
