Damn sexy, although I could never sharpen that recurve seeing that I use bench stones. Just damn sexy!

a ceramic rod would do the trick:thumbup:

nice stuff, Ryan. I think the choice of wood compliments the rest of what you got going on quite nicely. Great control over that temper line, too

All bite very little Bark! I like it

A very nice knife, Ryan!

In fact, I like all of your knives. However, the photos of your two latest knives are really messing with my eyes. Is it just me, or is the curved surface of the background and depth of field making your blades look like they are curved up sideways like potato chips? No one else has mentioned this, so it's making me start to worry...

haha Christopher,
photos are taken on a leather couch cushion, blades are straight and it didn't bother me until you said this... Thanks
