That's Special!
Don't believe I've seen that handle treatment before.
The Sheath, is very well done as always.
 
Ben, the finished knife is SWEET. That's a lot of work right there.
Caleb, awesome work.

An incredible knife.....amazingly intricate and a treat to the eye....mine anyway!

Congrats to the Seward's and to you for the great picture.
 
Thanks, guys! And yes it was a lot of work. The handle and guard fit together like a jig-saw puzzle then the tang goes through both and is held by a nut in the back. As far as I know it's the first of it's kind...an idea I've been working on since the last Little Rock show. I'm really excited about it and looking forward to exploring it's possibilities. Great job on the photo, Caleb!
 
I have only waited a year to see this one, saw the concept sketch on a napkin at the Gala for the Little Rock Show. It was worth the wait. Lovely work Ben. Outstanding image Caleb.

Wonderful work, Ben, and elegantly captured, Caleb. Some really innovative thinking and execution. A fertile mind and obvious dedication to pushing boundaries is paying off big-time.... For both of you.

that knife is beautiful!
Is the stainless in the handle one integral piece together with the guard? I wish i could feel the balance in first person, it's gonna be amazing!
 
Absolutely stunning. What a great concept and masterful execution. Beautiful flow to the whole piece. The color matching between the sheath and koa is perfect and gives such a unified look to the set. This one is going to be a real contender at the end of the year.


Caleb, do you have any detail pictures that you can share?
 
Usually "outside the box" thinking produces "out in left field" results, but not this time: it is spectacular!

Huge congrats on both the design and the execution, and the sheath and photo both do the knife justice, as well.

Yes, it is integral through the handle.
 
Wow, that is really something special Ben. Out of the park! Great photography Caleb.
