As the collector I am just honored to have this knife of Mikes. I new it was special when I saw it. I love what Caleb did to make it look like a commercial photo shoot. Congrats again Mike and thank you.

Also to Ryan Hayes and the CKCA for setting up.

I was both surprised and pleased when Ryan instituted the first Annual CKCA Best Hunter Competition.
We had a lot of fun with it and the award could not have gone to a more deserving knifemaker and collector.

Beautiful photo Caleb.

Even if we've come to expect the very best from Mike, he always finds raise the bar a little more each time around. You are an inspiration my friend.

PS: Caled, You are slowly changing the way I look at photography. I always thought that the photography needed to be as low key as possible to best showcase a knife. But you are showing me that it CAN have an artistic quality of it's own without overshadowing the knife but to the contrary, showcasing it even better. Thanks you.
