So many great things going on. The tight uniform twist and wrap of the wire in the handle really catches my eye.

I get a LOT of knives in my hands from every corner of the globe.

None of them made me smile wider than this one. Such style, skills, and beauty.

Yeah it was a challenge to photograph. Just as it was a challenge to build. Both worth the time.

Bob's humbleness is only exceeded by his skills.
