Burt does it, again!

Absolutely beautiful, and absolutely recognizable as a Burt Foster original, from laminated blade, to curved guard, to killer leather, to... my head hurts and I'm jealous:)
 
That turned out every bit as well as I would have expected - and then some. Congrats to the new owner and thanks to Burt for taking us all along for the ride.

Wow...
For a knifemaker, to see wips like this is priceless!
Thanks a lot!

Question: Do you fill the hole in the handle with some glue or something? I've seen in Josh Smith's Wip he fill the spaces between spine and handle material.
Or it's enough to tigthen the nut?

Thanks again!

I have been waiting to see the finished knife and it WAS worth the wait!

That is an impressive knife in every way....NICE sheath too (very cool the way the tool is used to create the pattern in the negative space).

Thanks Burt,
Peter
 
Unbelievable..... my jaw just dropped when I saw that finished blade. Stunning piece of functional art. :thumbup:
 
Powerful shapes all around, elegant detail work.. as expected from Burt, who's one of the top rank.

Burt, awesome knife and a great WIP. One of the great things about this forum is a Mastersmith showing step-by-step how he creates a special knife, particularly using techniques that in most other fields would be closely guarded as trade secrets.
 
Burt-
I have'nt posted for a while, but your WIP thread motivated me, unfortunately all of the good words were taken :D

Serioulsy, the peek over your shoulder was amazing, and I would like to thank you for sharing this process with us. The education that you provided was both generous, and inspiring,(by the way the knife was pretty slick also:cool:) let's just hope the owner of the finished knife is worthy !!!! ;)

Well done yet again !
 
Burt, I'm a big fan of your work! Sooo, I bought some Lottery tickets this evening! I'll call you later this week! We will talk!
