Quote:
I really appreciate the art of filework, but I have always hesitated to do any that was not functional. Sometimes I feel that it can detract from the simple nature of a knife--which is the simplest of tools. There is a very notable maker whose work I have always admired and followed, but when he decides to do file work, he files from stem to stern, top, bottom, finger groove, choil, you name it. I think fine embellishment like this is best served in limited quantity, like make-up on a pretty girl. __________________ Andy Garrett https://www.facebook.com/GarrettKnives?ref=hl Charter Member - Kansas Custom Knifemaker's Association www.kansasknives.org "Drawing your knife from its sheath and using it in the presence of others should be an event complete with oos, ahhs, and questions." |
