Audra Draper?

[jp101]

i've been looking for a present for a friend. Ever since i have unleashed my hobby of knives onto her (which has rubbed off! ) she has been a huge fan of damascus steel.

So, while doing an equal amount of looking and drooling over at blade art i found this: http://www.bladeart.com/artists/audra_draper/audra_draper.htm

Damascus. Necklaces. Perfect! (and her other stuff is awe inspiring also)

anyone ever purchased anything from this knife maker?

I have worked with Audra. I would recommend her work any day.

I believe Gollnick has a very nice Bali made by her:

Audra is as fine a person that you will ever meet.
She is a mastersmith and her work is outstanding.

I have a couple pendants from her , and got my wife a nice damascus heart pendant a couple years ago for Valentines day. Audra & Mike are some of the best folks you could meet , and their craftsmanship is excellent.

You can't go wrong with anything from Audra and Mike :thumbup:

Audra is not only a very talented knifemaker and artist, she is also a great person. Audra was the first female Mastersmith. There are a total of two in the world. Audra will even work with you on a custom design for your lady friend. Provide her with the basic design and then let her put her artistry to work. A very special one of a kind piece.

I have to chime in on this one. Audra and Mike do excellent work and are great people to get to know.

This is a dagger Audra forged and filed down.

That dagger is amazing! Especially how she formed the blade into the leaves under the rose, that's lovely.

I have not bought anything from the Draper's but I know them and I highly recommend them. Audra is very talented with the jewelry and art knives.

I just acquired this for my Mom's 80th BDay.

It should be here in a couple of days, I'm already anxious.
