Wow. I can see why it sold first.

That is a great looking knife.

Gerhard, Looks pretty good to me. You've got a great style. Still waiting for your funky chicken knife.

Style doesn't begin to describe it and I'd be hard-pressed to mar that outrageous hamon actually chopping into something with it!

John White · Oct 13, 2012

Outrageous hamon is right, and the rest as astonishing,

VERY NICE!

Beautiful, elegant lines, very nice materials! Very nice sheath as well! And that carving just makes it MORE sexy!

Kind regards,

You're not a knifemaker, you're an artist, I can't believe the way you sculpt the handles and the little touches like that fancy notch in the blade. It's really something else.
