    Now we're talkin'! Aren't professional images great. Very nice work, Mike.

    Your damascus and choice of ivory are top notch.

    ... I have seen that in any great undertaking it is not enough for a man to depend simply upon himself.

    WOW!! What a difference good clear photos make!

    As always Coop captured the beauty of the knife.

    SWEET Mike! I like everything about it.

    This knife was dreamy to work with. That piece of ivory is exactly this colorful and engaging.

    I REALLY like how he went with the polished shiny (clean) guard to distinguish/separate the two complex ends. That's a personal preference I look for, and the better makers understand.

    Mike didn't get my memo: NO posting my name in a subject line! LOLZ! I'd rather this thread be all about the knife and his build.

    That said, I appreciate his support, and yours too. Thank you all.
