That's got to be one of the most visually interesting knives I've seen in a long time, and it's done in very good taste to boot.
 
I'd call that the perfect blade for an old country aristocrat.

Lethal, but with tons and tons of pure style.

I love it. :thumbup::D:thumbup:
 
Wow, Just wow!

I'm not prompted to ever say much, but this IMHO is THE most beautiful knife I've ever laid my eyes on!

I would love to inquire as to how much one of these would cost, but I'm afraid my pocket book would not be able to handle such beauty.
 
wow. Seriously. Wow. I love the details, the big picture, everything.

I lucked into a couple dozen pounds of stainless 7 strand cable recently, just shy of 3/16. I've made a couple mosaic pins out of it, but how do you do the cable pins?
 
Thanks guys, I got some orders for similar pieces, so I'll be posting more knives like this in the next years :)

These one I didn't make! It's the inner cable strand of a bigger diameter one :thumbup: They work perfect for this.
