Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments. Every knife is a learning experience. Hopefully I'm growing as a maker.

Very, very nice, Erin. They are sure to be happy with those. Great work!

Hey Tobin... thanks for the feedback. If you haven't seen it already, you should check out Knife #9. I used one of the maple blocks (block #4) from that batch you bought from (blocks #5&6 I think). Remember, you need to post photos when you use them.
