John White- A rare opportunity.

[Lorien]

I never thought I'd take on something like this, but everything aligned too neatly for me to pass on a unique opportunity.

John White always struck me as someone I'd want to know, and whose work almost always inspired and impressed me. This piece, in particular.

Thank you, Eli

Fine knife from a great guy. I think it was this knife that inspired me to start checkering. Talked to John about a month before his passing and he gave me advice on getting started...sure do miss him.

Lorien,

Congratulations on getting a beautiful John White, MS knife from Eli.

John made great knives and he was one of the nicest people that I ever met. I was proud to know him and have him as a friend.

That is a beautiful knife. Being fairly new to knifemaking, I know there are many great makers who I will never meet but, the stories I read about John White's skill, enthusiasm, generosity and support of other knifemakers makes me a little sad I will never have the opportunity to meet him.
