Thought I'd throw up some quick pics of my latest Patron that Jeremy just finished up for me. Since I love the S90V that he used for my mokuti Wharncliffe, I wanted it for my next 2 projects as well. I asked Jeremy to do me a tanto with a slight recurve, but not as much as other tanto/recurves I've seen. I've also wanted a small pocketable fixed blade for a while now, so I asked Jeremy to work my ideas on that in with this order. And as usual, Jeremy knocked it out of the park. Here are some quick pics of my latest goodies.

Quick impressions of the new pieces...in one word, amazing. I honestly didn't think that after the mokuti Whatncliffe that the quality could be improved on, but Jeremy did it. This new tanto is even more refined than the last. Edges are crisper, things that should be flush are flush, lines are precise, and the pivot action is the best yet. Jeremy continues to refine his craft, and its clearly seen in the now 5 Patrons I own or have owned. I like his stuff so much that I've sold off/in the process of selling off all but 5 of my knives (down from a ridiculous number), and 3 of those 5 are from Jeremy.
 
Really nice work. I'm bummed though that Jeremy didn't respond when I asked him to do something for me in S90V. You got the inside track.
 
Those look fantastic; I really like the thumb-hole shape. I just picked up an El Patron in 3V, gotta be patient until it gets here. :)
