This was tough!

Looks to be flawless. Master Smith Quality.

I love everything Marc has been putting out lately, and this might be my favourite. Everything about the design just looks right, and the workmanship appears to be top notch. I can see the time spent agonising over the smallest details.

Tad has a very recognisable style, and its one that I happen to love! This unconventional blade profile could easily look awkward, but Tad makes it work to great effect. This design needs no embellishment, but the tasteful material selection radiates warmth, and brings it to the next level.

I stumbled across Tims work on instagram a while ago and was immediately hooked. Everything he does is ultra clean, and oozes style. A rare combination. The ricasso/plunge/heel detail alone on this knife would earn it my vote, however the rest of the knife is just as worthy. Love it.

Another master work. Im not usually a fan of highly embellished knives, but maybe embellishment is the wrong word in this case. Every detail on this knife appears to be an integral part of the design, rather than an addition. Not sure what Im trying to say, but I love this knife!

Ive got a thing for pointy knives, and this one is as pointy as it is a knife.
