Thanks guys! I think you might want to see some of the parts being made too. The pictures are not necessarily in order but I will try to do that.

Funny when growing up I read about such people as you who were true craftsman and artists creating such things of beauty and thought what ever happened to these people and their trades who lived hundred and even thousands of years ago? Did their trades just die off with them?
Being taught that with the industrial revolution all things are now made by machine and casts never knowing people like you still exist and live right in our back yards.
You are truly a Master! :notworthy:

Wow, just wow. :clapper:
-
Lin, you continually amaze me with your creativity in knife design. They are the most beautiful creations. You certainly have my admiration!

Thank you sirs.
Jim, If I can make a knife, I know that anyone can. Believe me, it's been impressed upon me time and again that some of the techniques are simple enough when broken up into small steps. Yes, I have been very fortunate to have some training by great makers, but even so, it's like anything else. With a few tricks and good materials and a hat full of stubbornness thrown in, knife making can get very interesting.

Not comparing my work to Lin's by any means, and not saying talent isn't important, but I've found that the quality of the results of a knifemaking venture (or any craft really) depends much more on the maker's level of patience than his level of talent. The design process, and especially coming up with new design ideas, such as the guard design here, or the "X-Rhea" handle design is where the talent really factors in the most. IMO ;)
