Tel père tel fils bravo !

[Don Hanson III]

Guys, I really appreciate the good words!

Just a short time ago I didn't think Kyle would ever make knives, he just wasn't interest. Then last Fall he started helping some in the shop for gas money, next thing I knew he wanted to make a knife.

BTW, he's made a couple banjos and is pretty dang good at playing them too...

 

[Kyle Royer]

Great work Kyle! Those are some sweet looking blades regardless of the fact that they are your first five. Keep up the great work!

Good teaching Don!

 

[Kevin Jones]

Impressive early knives, but no surprises considering his dad.
Great to see children following along in parent's footsteps, I know you are proud Don!
We need to get collector's young one's coming along behind us.

 

[Don Nguyen]

Very cool!

Can't imagine how many knife makers are green with envy to have your instructor be not only your Dad, but a world renowned bladesmith at that!!! :thumbup:

Seeeeriously!! This is the very first thought that came to my mind.

Wow, his work is incredible.

 

[Ben Seward]

Hey Don, you're gonna have to bring him to Arkansas...with the banjo. That's my thing too...good to see another banjo picker doing something worthwhile with his life.LOL.

Will have to do that, Ben!

What kind of banjos is Kyle building, Don?

 

[wagglebee]

Those look great Don, he's got a great teacher.

 

[Don Hanson III]

What kind of banjos is Kyle building, Don?

One he calls a 'mountain banjo', other was made from a wood cigar box and is electric. I don't know much about them. He does want to build a more traditional one at some point.

My son Kyle is now 21 and as started showing interest in knife making. Here are his first 5 knives made recently. We're using my sunfish stamp on the front and a K opposite for now, he'll get his own stamp pretty soon. We started simple, on the first two he did pretty much what I told him then he started to do his own thing on the next three. Wont be long and he'll stop listening to me.

These are beautiful knives..
Congratulations to father and son.
You guys stay safe out in the knifeshop.
Much Respect.

I'm new to this field, but I know beauty and craftsmanship when I see it. These are simply gorgeous.
