Looks like good work, Dean. I really liked your ship scene that I saw on one of your knives at a Guild meeting. You've for sure got talent for that artistic kind of thing that I'm sorely lacking...I'm envious.

The scrim work is very good....but the knife is right-on. I love the style and your flat grind looks perfect. Good teacher Huh! Keep up the good work and show us more of your scrimshaw.

Yeah, that works! I love 'em long and pointy. Impressive scrim with a great theme.

Fantastic display, too.

Thanks!
