You really nailed this one. I have known it for a while, but seeing it on your table confirmed it for me. You are right, a knife like this dont "just happen". It takes an attitude of not settling for less, so sometimes you have to tweak a curve or a line here and there, but it paid off. I had hoped you would document it professionally and Coop did a good job.  Thanks for showing us. Did Coop photograph any of the rest? Lin

I'm glad to see it Doug. One or more of these will grace the pages of a knife publication before long you can bet. Lin

I had this one on my kitchen table for two weeks and used it to spread my peanut butter and slice my cheese before delivering it for Doug.
Sure am gonna miss that thing.

The lines on that dagger cannot be described without holding it in your hands first person. All of his knives were amazing works of art, but that one in particular was over the top.

Awesome stuff Doug! Enjoyed meeting all the TG'ers at the show, hope to see you all again next year.
