Scott: Thanks for posting up the pictures, and thanks to all you guys for the comments on the knives.
Both of these shesthmakers are top of the mark.

Nice work by all parties involved.
Beautiful Photographs Scott, I really like them.
The top knife was pure Mike Craddock and was so nice I knew I'd want another, or two, from him.
The sheath by Mr. Parsons compliments the knife quite well.
The second knife, I had some input and "helped" in the design. Mike is a pleasure to do business with if I do say so.
I stopped by his shop a couple of years ago, got the "tour", was impressed, and now consider myself a friend
as well as a customer, so I'm admittedly biased.
We got the blade figured out, Mike crafted it promptly, and I had no handle material selected!
17 emails and a picture of the blade, Mark at It's a Burl came through with this gorgeous piece of wood.
The wood was all Mark's doing, I knew I liked his style, and his product is top notch.
All I did was show him a picture of the blade and send funds! He mailed the block to Mike, sight unseen by me.
Again, Mike crafted the block as he deemed, and Bazinga!
Off it went to Mr. Long, I knew I wanted one of his sheaths, and this project seemed
like a good one for another great craftsman. Mr. Long and I talked a few times, I gave him a budget and a free reign,
and he came through, predictably so.
Scott's excellent photos wrapped it all up. They should be back in hand soon, along with a knife from Scott.
My thanks and appreciation to all of the fine folks involved.

Both are beauties.
On the 2nd one Mike got the grain and figured oriented just right to compliment the handle shape.
The sheaths really add to the overall package.
and....great photos Scott.
