Thanks for the kind remarks. Although I am new to making knives, my years of experience as a lapidarist, silversmith, and wood worker have given me an edge when it comes to knife making. A knife after all is really a consolidation of all of those skills into one neat little package. That does not mean I have not struggled immensely in achieving the results displayed in that knife. I did everything twice, sometimes thrice and to be fair I have several baggies of knife shaped objects that were ultimately abandoned and relegated to testing, lol. While this knife is not perfect, it is a fair representation of my dedication to the art. I feel it's what you don't see when you look at a knife that makes it a thing of beauty. I look forward to representing and supporting the knife making community to the best of my ability as I learn and grow in the knowledge of this fine craft.
