Utilized last Sunday to complete this knife after almost one year
Actually I was searching for brass plates for the bolster & luckily I found a metal shop in Andheri who have brass plates, pipes & rods.
I brought 5 mm thick 1” by 2 feet Brass plate , 3 mm & 4 mm round rod ,6 mm pipe
And finally the knife is ready after one year

this was one year back
