This is a multi-blade folder that I finished recently for a collector. I also made the opener and the leather covered box.

that's amazing!
I really enjoyed reading that article in Blade mag about you and your work:thumbup:
 
Yoiks that's tiny. Unbelievable work. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to work on that scale and further maintain that level of relative precision. I mean that isn't just a small knife, it's as detailed as if it were actually shrunk.
 
Incredible knife.

Though I didn't make it to the AKI, I got a chance to see two of your folders in the AKI Show Book (one on the front cover and the other on your knife information pages). What beautiful knives they are, a feast for the eyes.
 
COOL. I also enjoyed the article in blade and have seen your knives in various publications. Your work is exquisite!

Thanks for posting it.

That's freakin' awesome work, man. Love the proportions. Thanks a bunch for sharing it. In fact, I hope you share more of your work here with us, as I've always enjoyed it.

By the way, I really like the embossed gold (?) printing on your boxes. Do you do that part yourself, too? Do you use techniques similar to that of book binders? I'd love to learn more about it.
 
Very Impressive, your work is an inspiration to myself and I am sure many others! Thanks for sharing, Sometime I would love to see a WIP from you making one of your miniatures. I can understand how hard it is to make a full size multi-blade and can only imagine the time and skill that goes into that knife.

Thanks for all the comments. This was really a challenge, it is 1 3/16" closed. It was ordered 6 years ago and I finally tackled the job.

Yes, I do the embossing on the boxes and it is the same technique as that on book binders.
