Thank You for Looking.
 
Hello!

I really like this one! Attractive slim blade there!

The only thing i am not sure about are the pins; to me they look like screws at first glance thanks to their structure, not a look I'd wish for on such a beautiful knife. Excuse the nitpicking though, because apart from that it really works for me!

Best regards,
Alex

I like this piece as well. Very elegant and well executed. Your guard and spacer offer nice contrast between your darker handle and blade. I also like your use of stainless for this application.

I see where ALEX is coming from regarding the pins, though they don't bother me. We have many newer makers and collectors visiting this forum, I feel we all benefit from varying opinions. :thumbup::thumbup:

Great gesture in the gift to the fireman, heros all in my option.

Very nice indeed
 
Thank You for your Comments.
I do Appreciate the comments because as maker I find it a great way to learn about areas that I am strong or week in.
I had a customer that wanted a Chef knife. He used many of my Chef knives to get what he wanted in his own knife. With out his comments I never would have gotten the order. When I delivered it to the company he owned he showed it some of his staff and said, "Dave Gave me exactly what I wanted"
Honest Opinions are a Good resource.
Sincerely,
Dave
