Thanks,

Phillip,

Let me be the first to congratulate you on an exceptional knife. From tip to butt, it is just lovely. If that is a first with the w's, I am looking forward to the second and third.

Keep your fire hot, Fred
 
The knife speaks for itself, and the others will commend you on that.

I will tell you that waiting and presenting your knife with crystal clear images that knock your socks off is a skill that you have learned well. :thumbup:

Nice work.

Phillip, you are amazingly talented...Your passion shows in your creations!
Blessings from Texas!

WOW! Just plain WOW!

I am not a huge fan of the mosaic damascus trend (I appreciate the skill and work, just don't care for the look) but this seems to bridge that gap between random pattern and mosaic beautifully. The pattern flows great with the blade design as well. Thanks for sharing. As already mentioned, your photos really show off the beauty of your work. It's a skill that a lot of great makers should learn better.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet:D i wish you would have had that one done already when you stopped by.
 
What they all said! Beautiful knife, great pattern, great pics. Are you using a Coop type photo setup?
 
Oh my .. this is one knife I love to have with me one of this day. It's just so lovely :thumbup:

I guess it is about 8" to 8 1/2" BL and 13" to 13 1/2" OAL. Am I correct?

Great job Phillip :thumbup:
 
Thank you guys (and gal) for your comments! Their very encouraging. :)

Thanks, Coop! I've learned a lot from your photography threads. :thumbup:
I know I still have a long way to go, though.
As soon as I make a knife worthy of your skills, I'm sending one your way. :D

Sort of. It's not as good as his, so I want to make another one soon and follow his directions more closely. The one I have now has some lighting issues...

Very good! The blade is 8", the handle is 5". :)
 
Phillip, You have outdone yourself, going to give Coop a run for his money soon.
Congrats,
