Wow, that one is beautiful, Phillip. Do you have a pic showing the hamon better?

 

[Dan Pierson]

It deserves Coop all right! That's beautiful. I especially like the very controlled recurved grind line between the top and bottom grinds. Hope I can do something like that eventually.

 

[Caden_Vekk]

I LOVE IT. Man, everyone's been popping out completely kickin' knives.

[robloveday]

Wow! I wish I had that much control over my grind lines, and I love that ironwood handle.

 

[Phillip Patton]

Thanks every one for the comments!

I just upgraded my digital camera, and it's taking me awhile to learn how to use it. i finally figured oout how to adjust the exposure value, so here are a couple more pics, with less glare:

I'll see if I can get a picture out in the sunlight showing the hamon...

Phillip, every time you post one of these up a little anxiety sets in as I patiently wait to get to the top of your orders list. You make some top notch recurves:thumbup:

 

[mdoyle]

Phillip,
Honestly I think that may be the nicest knife I have seen from you! Man there is just NOTHING to not like about that one! Lines are perfect, and your amazingly controlled grinds combined with a magnificent piece of wood, and and great hamon bring it all together for a top notch package. Better get it to Coop fast!
Congrats on this one for sure!:thumbup:

[Edro20]

I'd love to see a video tutorial of you grinding!!:thumbup:

 

[Matthew Gregory]

The hamon is gorgeous, and makes the knife for me! Did you do that without clay?

I agree with Mr. Doyle, best one yet!
