Kyle Mellino Has Graduated!

[Fiddleback]

I am proud to announce that Kyle Mellino, who makes knives under the brand Grange Parks Knife Works has graduated from my apprentice program. Kyle came to us with a lutherie background, and was an immediate asset to Fiddleback Forge. We learned a lot about fit and finish from Kyle. He really grew into his quirky design style while he was here with us. The graduation knife is a perfect example of his style. The model is the Rabbitsfoot and it has almost too much personality for a knife that size. Really comfortable worker too.

I am very honored to add Kyle's name to the list of graduated apprentices. He deserves it. Please join me in congratulating Kyle on his fine work!

If I had a really cool animated emoji collection like pertinux , I'd paste a super funny, creative one here. Sadly, I don't though, so I'll just say congratulations!

Awesome work, Kyle! Congrats!
(Incidentally, Kyle’s Chef Knife was the first apprentice knife that I purchased, and it’s become a staple in my kitchen collection. Fine work, indeed.)
