I have found my favorite knife maker!!!! I fall completely in love with all of your knives! Your style fits my taste perfectly!!! I was sad to hear the sidewinder bowie sold at that show but happy for you.
 
You're work exemplifies a level of understanding of design and detail that just amazes me... few makers have such a keen sense of flow, and you combine shapes and textures with such grace!

This knife touches on every aspect of knifemaking that draws me to it - thank you so much for sharing!
 
I'm at a loss for words, which is rare for me.

Thanks for sharing please post again, Fred

Yeah... what Matt said... you know, about flow and texture and stuff. If you ever feel like sharing work-in-progress photos, please put me first on the list to see them. I think it would be a learning experience to witness how you bring all of that flow and texture together so cleanly.

Well don't think me a buzzkill here but...here goes. Knife looks great. Taking a page from the Knife Identification forum, I'd sure like to see a plain Jane side view to get a real feel for the actual shape and proportions. Obviously this is a fantastic knife...don't get me wrong there...and what I see I love. The photos, however, are a bit dramatic in terms of presenting the knife as a whole.

But everybody is a critic right. Again, really love the knife.
 
'wow', as always. Matt pretty much said it best for me.
 
thank you all for your kind posts,
I´m glad that you like my knife!

@matthew,
this ´sense of flow´ is a gift and I´m grateful for....
and I had to train my eye 30 years long in dental tecniques by creating esthetical ceramic-restorations for teeth.

@hoosierQ,
you´re right, I allways forget to take a sideview...sorry!
and you are right too, my pictures are dramatic- ´cause I wanted it.
my intension was not to make a product-foto for a better selling... I tried to show the ´character´, the feeling and the details of the knife.


best regards

I'd say you accomplished that in spades! An incredible knife captured in incredible images.
