The first three knives in the above post are all integrals, 52100 ebony fighter, damascus and Koa fighter ( which was given to me by my friend Mark at Burl Source) and the coffin handled dagger. The dogbone and the main gauche are both takedowns. Jon B thank you for your patience, I hope you feel it was worth the wait.

I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words in Joe's post, this has been a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Im finally able to get some decent sleep at night:D Coop, thank you for the amazing images so beautifully done and quickly, I really do appreciate it.:thumbup:

Mike,

Each knife sicker than the next. I'm sure the ordering of the pics wasn't unintentional :thumbup:

The dog bone and the main gauche are simply tours de force.

Really, a more deserving stamp I can't imagine. Maker's looks aside :p

Congrats again.

STUNNING.... each and every one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :thumbup: :cool:

So glad I got to see them up close and personal!!! :D :D :D
 
Mike,
It was a real treat to see them in person.
Super impressive!!!!
Congratulations.

Mike,

Thanks for sharing those here. Definitely drool-worthy stuff. I had heard about the main gauche but did not get a chance to see it. Still wish I had, but the picture is much better than nothing.

Congrats!!!
 
Mike, truly SPECTACULAR in every sense of the word! I didn't see them in person but knowing you and your work the way I do, I KNOW how clean and precise the are.

That dogbone is really something special and that's coming from a guy that typically doesn't care for them. And the main gauche is over the top!

That said, I think that carbon steel and ebony handled one in the first pic is my favorite. :)

I wish I could have been there to shake your hand. I'm really happy for you and glad you can rest easy now.

Proud of you, son! ;)
 
I'd say stunning work, but really, just what we should expect from Mike Quesenberry.

Spectacular, immaculate, elegant, are more like it. It was a treat to see these up close.

sweet baby jeebus!
 
Amazing.... as expected :thumbup:

Got to see a "preview video" of the main gauche since I couldn't make it to Blade, and was Extremely impressed - I've held a bunch of those integral fighters and they are just marvels of flow and precision, and I'm happy to say I own one of those sick coffin handle daggers (though mine is not an integral)

That dogbone is just off the hook, though :D

Congrats again, Mike

Mike

In the airport and I am stil trying to get home :)

Huge congrats

Your work and character are amazing
 
Wonderful stuff Mike. How I wish I could've sat down with you and that main gauche and talked about the details. What a tour de force.
 
Congratulations Mike.
An outstanding and complex group of "MS" Test Knives that showcase not only your tremendous talent but your versatility as well.
 
Mike, congratulations! Very well deserved. I was honored to be a part of this, no matter how long the wait. I don't have the knife yet but I know already it was worth it! Get some sleep and be ready for me to beg for daggers over the coming years. =) Thanks for this!!

All beautiful knives here.
