I understand this knife did not come out as you wanted, but let me say this knife is wonderful. The rough, hammered look along the spine and the burl gives it a unique "old world" look. The gold of the burl looks almost translucent in this photo, balancing the old with the new. Your handle shape is certainly unique as it is functional; it has a modern, fantasy-like quality to it but it has a wonderful practical, ruggedness as well. This knife would look stunning on a display table but would fit equally well on your hip in the backwoods; in fact it screams to me "I am as tough as I am beautiful, take me out and use me." Overall, this knife superbly blends the old world with the modern world and is an excellent example of traditional craftsmanship in an age of mass production. A simple beauty.

If second place looks this good, well then, I really wouldn't mind being second to number one.

~Feonorx Nov 12, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

That looks sweet! Lucky bugger...

I think wood I think rock. A knife worth admireing and respecting along with pretty much every other knife you've created. Great work.

~floggerSG Nov 12, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

That's still a nice knife man!

~Umbreon-art Nov 11, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Soooooo pretty!

~StormsChild Nov 11, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Now that is really beautiful knife.

~skipshot Nov 11, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

Given the nature of the weapon, this fella would work really well as a boot knife. If you watch the movies, half the time the knife is to big and clunky. The other, the user can hardly get it out without being noticed. The handle and the shape of the overall is perfect for a surefire extraction. (Nice job)

~brumagem Nov 11, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

I like it. The texture on the blade goes really well with the burl.

~GaHaggis Nov 11, 2012

If this isn't as good as you wanted it to be, I'm can't imagine what perfection looks like...holy crap, dude!
