I’m behind on taking pictures of some recent acquisitions but I had to post this exceptional work from a ‘local’ ‘Smith @kimmiscutlery aka Gene Kimmi. 😎

It’s a small World as I’ve been to the family business many years ago but had no idea at that time Gene was interested in Bladesmithing and an outstanding one at that, plus a fantastic Cabinet Maker. :)

This Fighter is forged of W2, has a forged wrought guard forged from an anchor chain, and is hafted in some stellar Koa….that chatoyance :D ….it’s finished masterfully with no over-heated pin, no low spots around the pin, etc, and that sheath with a classy rendition of the Hamon on the blade, a 1st for me! ❤️

As for anyone that knows me, as I’ve handled a knife or two in my time, this gentleman, Gene Kimmi, is definitely a Maker to watch and get a knife from…no disappointments. The fit/finish is stellar and much better than a lot of ‘named’ Makers. 🌻
