Congratulations! Sweet display of craftsmanship and attention to detail. You knocked it out of the park!
Congrats Chris!!
You deserve it brother, & I can't wait for your new sub-forum, that's so cool. I do have to say something, I don't know, somewhat negative. While your Graduation Knife is stunning, I happen to own two knives that are better, IMO anyhow. I'm not sure who the maker of these two knives is, but I think even you will agree that he has you bested....check these out, & maybe you can apply some of his techniques to your knives:

It was truly an honor Chris.
Congrats Chris and great execution on that knife! are we to see it being put to work out in the parking lot in an upcoming thread?
Ummmm. That knife is going in my Georgia makers collection and won't be getting beat up my friend.
One of my proudest moments is when I see a maker I've tought surpass my skills. Chris isn't the first, but he is one of the best.
Welcome aboard!
Always a wisenhammer. LOL. That kevlar knife was something special too.

Congratulations Chris, you are definitely worthy of the honor. I was lucky enough to see and handle the graduation knife when we stopped at the shop on the way to Track Rock. The knife is truly amazing. The photos really do not do it justice..

Congrats Chris! Excellent design and execution. I love that you pointed out that the grains of the curly koa and the texture on the blade were an intentional design point. Well done!

I have the original prototype on hand checking it out and the more I handle it the more I see the thoughts Chris had in mind when he designed it and the more impressed I am. But damn that one is just gorgeous. I love the way the grain of the handle and the texture on the flats complement each other.
