i like that word “jarring” your a smart dude, way above average. i love following your work. you know what was “jarring” was watching relatively new makers selling $4,000.00 folders at USN and California Custom shows recently. i had a guy two tables away who charged $300 for you to win a chance at buying one of his folders. you had to draw the right combination of numbers and it cost $300 to try. the colors and texturing were jarring. i personally love it because it’s a style i have already done years ago. i promise you if you personally build two fixed blades and hand rub one and texture the otherin a style like Borka, Bastinelli, Scorpion Six or the other hot guys and put them both up for auction the jarring knife is going to probably bring double the money. you can see what i am talking about at arizona knives. much love and i hope you can visit me sometime in Colorado.I'm sure you're on to something with the heat colouring and random grind marks around the ricasso, and that there's going to be demand for the knife based partly on that, but I feel like those elements are a little jarring and out of step with all the other stuff going on. Otherwise, I dig the smooth flowing lines of the design and your treatment of the pivot area is pretty nifty
yeah, Mike. I agree and thank you, I'd love to visit Colorado again one of these days.
