Your posts are a glimpse into another world. That's a beautiful Tanto.
Max is growing up. Thanks Mitch
Thank you and yes he is
His little sister is only 5 pounds behind
They are monsters for 5 months old
Davids work is so inspirational in so many ways
Not only do they have such a timeless visceral look ....... when you hold and especially wield them they come alive
You know a few weeks ago at the NY show I had my WAK on display and it was probale the most picked up piece on the table
People would ask and of course I would hand them the piece unsheathed and the first thing they would say is wow that's amazingly light
The next thing they would say was ...... what a weapon
You don't hear that much at the shows ..... hell we don't even like to refer to blades as such in today's world
But Davids blades scream wield me ...... cut with me
They literally seem to want to be used
Funny story
Matt Diskin who had not seen my piece was handling it saying boy this thing is nasty
Without thinking he did a light snap cut like motion into our display tables edge
Now mind you .... there was a table cloth on the table
I looked at him and said ..... Matt There's a metal edge on the table
He said no ..... Blade still embedded slightly in table
We lifted the cloth and sure enough a metal band
We inspected the edge and .......... nothing
We laughed and said ....... David got the heat treat right
Remember my blade is mystery steel ...... David found an old axle in a mine in Alaska and forged my blade from it
Pretty impressive
Old school bladesmith making stuff that would look right in a painting of a Samurai from hundreds of years ago or in the latest Star Wars Movie and the best part is ........ they really work
