How navajs Are Made

Thanks Chris,

An outstanding insight into the old world methods used in the construction of these wonderful knives.
Even though I have wonderful examples continually going through my hands I do wish at one point or another to start collecting these again, to me their beauty is unsurpassed.
When one looks at the labour involved in creating a knife of that size in the video, one can only imagine how much time and effort is in the large Navaja in previous postings and the 90+cms piece below.
Not being fluent in the language Chris, were there any clear directions noted on the etching process when he put on his mask and poured in the magic solution?

Thanks again for the trip through time.
