As I enter my fifth year in knifemaking, I realized that the priorities of my designs have changed drastically.
I wrote about the knives I am making to a dealer and described themmore or less like this: rougher, sharper and more comfortable.
I don´t think this guy sees too many makers sayng that their knive´s finish got rougher but, at least for now, I am caring much more about what they can do and how comfortably they can be handled than looks. I also think they got less aggressive and more objective in design, and the funny party is that all these changes happened naturally - I only realized them after they were already part of my style.
Maybe I am becoming a more mature profissional, maybe it is just another phase in my career (or maybe I am gatting lazzy and slopy and am looking for the right excuses...
), but I just wanted to share these thoughts with you guys and hear your opinions.
