Summer's fierce right now, but Autumn's better times are not far behind.

Here's an Autumn Leaf; "Brown on Brown." Six and one quarter inch W-2 Vest Pocket fighter, clay hardened for Hamon.

This is what I mean by "Exhibition Grade" Ironwood, and so I matched it with rust-browned mild steel on guard, collar, and frame, accented by file-worked stainless spacers and frame liners.

Paul Long carried out the theme with a brown overlay sheath, featuring darkest brown wood-grain shark; notice the dark brown lip.

John and Paul,

That really is a very nice knife and sheath. I would'nt expect anything less though from two guys at the top of their profession!!
 
That is just sublime - beautiful design, materials and execution - it needs nothing more.

The knife has all the beautiful flow and the sweet curves :thumbup:
The sheath has all the luster of satin and the softness of silk :thumbup:
Both just gorgeous :thumbup:
Congrats to both of you John and Paul :)

That whole thing is exhibition grade! Beautiful!

Lots of little touches that work together to push it over the top.

Those hollows in the rear of the handle must really feel sweet.

Crystal-clear photography. :thumbup: The knife is shown with the 'justice' it deserves.

The DI(ironwood) and sheath are so complementary it's unreal, Paul has a knack for doing that.
Guard/ferrule, imo, bring the awesome blade and handle together superbly.
Great VP Fighter shown clear and concisely with the images.

A real pleasure seeing this, thanks for showing, John ! :thumbup:
