I do indeed like it. Do you mind telling us the significance of your various touch marks?

Of course, master! The arrowhead got inside a "J" an a "G". The "J" is a tribute to my brother in Knives, "Johny Fortuny". He is The one ho introduce me to Joe Keeslar in Thiers. Joe an Sussan alwais said that Johny is his spanish son. Tho "G" is from Guillermo. My name.

The anvil is to significate that The Knives are hand forged. And The big one, "garcimonte forged Knives" is my comercial signature. It got inside two deer horns, because i'm hunter and began making Knives for me... But The two horns are one for each of my sons.

Guillermo

That is one sweet blade, and the mammoth scales are a very nice touch, your engraving is the icing on the cake.

I think your touch marks show your love of the craft.
