A lot quicker than that
My prediction is Sam will sell all his knives a few hours after show opener
Joe,
I haven't been on the forums much lately, but am trying to rectify that...
And upon my coming back, I've been seeing a lot of this Samuel guys work... And am truly enamored with it! I haven't seen his stuff in person, but I can only believe that these creations are as good as they look on the internet.
Part of what got me started collecting years ago was when I was first exposed to using clay during the heat treat - besides traditional Japanese stuff, it was Nick Wheeler whom I met out here in Seattle who had some knives w/Hamons on them... I was hooked.
And now seeing Sam's work, well I am awed!
And since they are on, as Win said, sculptures, well, I'll admit I have used the pic of the one he made you as my tablet's background (due to the orientation of the pic and the lighting!)
I would really be interested in handling one of his blades - those sculpted handles look like they are truly inspired ergonomical masterpieces! And while I'm not usually attracted to sub-hilts... This one just ROCKS!!!
Sounds like he's going to have an excellent show at Blade!

Think that might be my favorite of his to date. Its the handle really does it for me. The slightly curved S on the guard, the carving and how close the damascus pieces are to eachother just do it for me. I truly wish I owned this!
Imagine what this feels like in the hand! Must rival Lin Reas handle, i'd imagine.
