Ken,
That's a real beauty!!! If I weren't recovering from the Christmas wallet hit, I'd be all over it. Someone is going to get a BEAUTIFUL knife!!
 
Great knife, Ken!! Wonderful grinding job. I like that shield too. It suits Ebony to a tee!
A lot of 100 year old Ebony handled knives have that shield!!
The reflections tell me the bolsters are nicely symmetrical!
Beginning knifemakers take heed, and watch carefully what this man is doing!:thumbup:

And Garrett . . . . . .you lucky dog!! Way to start out your long career as a purchaser of beautiful customs!:D
 
I certainly agree with what Waynorth says in above post even though i lack the depth of experience to speak with the authority that Charlie rightfully has.
Most beautiful knife Ken, and like all of the knives you are creating, i bet there is not a better made Traditional Folder on this planet.
i'm almost ready to give up on the rest of life, and park my butt in front of this computer screen, glued to this forum, and hit 'refresh' every minute until the next knife is posted.
but that would be greedy because i am on the wait list and other knuts kneed knice knives.

Thanks for the kind and gracious comments on this one.

Charlie,

I just so happened to have at my disposal, inspiration for the shield;) Thanks!

Hey Ken,

Are those the two knives you made for me that you are using for your Avatar? Should I be receiving a 25 cent royalty each time you use it? :) Truth is I'm flattered that you like the knives well enough to use the photo.
