first commissioned piece

[724wd]

a friend i worked with wanted a knife to give to her brother for his birthday. obvious Snody influence (but my grinds are no where NEAR as crisp!), 440C, maple scales with cocobollo bolsters and white vulcanized liner. mosaic pin and handmade sheath.

Looks beautiful! Excellent woods there. And the sheath is very very nice compliment to it. excellent work.
I recently gave my soon to be brother in law one of my homemade looking creations and he LOVED it, very rewarding.
And I dont know how the world Mr. Snody gets his grinds so perfect either...wish i could grind half as clean as he does!

From what I have read, Mike's training has been hands on with several top knife makers across the country. I'm sure that in itself lends a hand to his grinds (no pun intended ).

I really like this knife and the sheath, the sheath reminds me of Jay Fischer's work.

Beautiful knife. Nice choice for the bolsters, that's pretty unique. Congratulations on your commercial status. Nice feeling, Huh? I see you live in Spokane, that's almost my neck of the woods.

I love how the liner seems to extend up between the bolster and the scale. Nice work!
