Ribbon Candy!
Just amazing and clean. Three thumbs up...
 The rest of your knife is super-clean as well. All that and a healthy 'CLACK' when it locks. Ain't it great!!?? Coop __________________ Jim Cooper - Capturing the Artistry and Significance of Handmade Knives  ?? New website improvement for 2010 - Over 5000 images searchable by maker's name! ?? |

Keith-
Glad to see my advice paid off... Coop said it right by calling this "ribbon candy"...Never seen the "snake" pattern look so ribbonlike...I like it! When I was starting out, I read an article in Blade magazine...it was a "shop tour" of an old, successful knifemaker (I wish I could recall his name). When asked what was the most important advice he had to give to new makers he replied, "Patience"... For some reason that stuck with me. I've since come to learn that there is no better advice. The same thing that Keith and I have discussed applies to all new makers... Take your time. There's no rush. As Keith has demonstrated here in such a dramatic way, slowing things down and paying much closer attention to detail can have a huge impact on the end product. Way to go Keith! Dennis Greenbaum Yeah Baby!

WOW! How'd you DO that? Beautiful. Did you use power or hand files on the back?

the file work started with a dremel then finished with hand files. the funny thing is that this piece actually was a mistake, that turned into another mistake, and then another. finally the end result. funny how mistakes can be for the best!
