I've finished hand engraving this beautiful knife by Collum Custom Knives today!

The owl has landed! Collum is a local maker that I had been interested in for a while. I’d handled a few of his knives and started researching his stuff online leading up to a local show he was attending this weekend. This knife popped up all over the place every time I searched online the last month or so but I didn’t give it much thought thinking it had surely been sold. Well, it hadn’t been. It actually showed up at the local show and I couldn’t pass it up. The knife is amazing on its own but the engraving put it over the top. A lot of people working the show knew of the knife and spoke very highly of your work. I showed it to my wife when I got home and had a hard time getting it back from her. Anyway, keep up the good work! My children will be fighting over this one some day.

That's awesome, I'm glad you love it! I heard from Matt that several people came to the show and his booth to see that knife and nothing else.

I could believe that people were wanting to take a closer look at it. Most of the makers and knife people at the show “knew” the knife and several asked if I’d seen the elk Barlow you had done. Your owl certainly made a splash in the Alabama knife community!

At the time I had posted the completed project, it drew quite a few views across the greater internet. You'll see the photo album has about 86k unique views. Across the platforms I had posted, I had accrued some 200k+ views and 300 comments. :)
