That's a fine looking knife, Kerry. A perfect blade combination, in my estimation.

Kerry,
I absolutely love the design of this knife and its pattern. Too bad I won't be in Atlanta this year to touch it
Just out of curiosity, what's the closed length?

[2Dead]

Beautiful knife Kerry!!

Fausto, if its like the original, it should be 3 7/8" closed.

PLEASE get to my name again soon.

Great looking knife and beautiful scales.

 

[Morrow]

Nice looking TJ Kerry! Everyone else has already said what I wanted to so....DITTO!

 

[Ken44]

That looks fantastic Kerry. I really like that jigging.

 

[supratentorial]

Looks perfect! The only thing that I'd like to change is the ownership.

Kerry,

What can I say, I love this knife, the jigging is terrific. You've taken my favorite design and added a wharncliff blade, superior!

From simply a selfish perspective, I would like you to be a full-time maker, but there's a difference when you do something to make money and when you it because you

love it. You obviously build knives because you love to, don't ever loose that feeling. All the best to you and see you in a couple of weeks.

That is drop dead gorgeous.

 

[sextant]

super-nice - I love the blade combination too.
Concerning the part-time maker it's easy - all we've got to do is wait. Patience pays off, they say

 

[KnifeHead]

Moocho grassyass, moochachoze, for all the positive verbiage.

Even though this would be quite a load in the pocket, I hope it gets some use. I usually do a ground/Scotch-Brite finish on the blades with the idea that they can be used without showing scratches. On this knife in particular, I also went with brushed finishes on the hardware so this knife is seriously screaming "USE ME".

 

[JC in SC]

A good example of when to use cut versus drawn swedges and a simply gorgeous knife all the way around. Great work Kerry.

 

[waynorth]

Wonderful TJ, Kerry. Beautiful handful at 3 7/8" (right?).
I like all the details, finishes etc. Impressive Jack!

 

[KnifeHead]

I didn't measure it but it should be right around 3 7/8". Thanks again for the encouragement.

I'm looking forward to sharing "war stories" at Blade in a few weeks.

Don't forget, I offer very reasonable rates to do CE and CF. Extremely reasonable, like, I'll even pay return postage. Not responsible for drool in the works though.

Is this a side job to your Russian Hands and Roman Fingers business?

Sounds like a proposition to me...
