My score from Blade Show and a little story to go with

bbingenheimer · Jun 16, 2015

As we all know if not for all of our wonderful spouses this would not be as nearly as much fun. I have had to great pleasure of making a ton of friends in the knife community. I have also had the great pleasure to get to meet and know quite a few of your better 1/2's.

So now on to my story about my score. Saturday morning I was talking to Dave Lisch's wife while she was setting up their table. I had remembered at the Seattle show just a little over a month ago. She had made a few "Andrea" small kitchen knives. I was I little disappointed that I waited to long to get one of them in my hands.

Fast forward to Blade show Saturday morning. Andrea is doing the finishing touches on Dave's table and I ask her if she had brought any of her knives. Guess what she had five with her. I ask if I could see them and I now have the great pleasure of owning one. Actually it is now my wife's knife. I was allowed to test it out this evening on the prep for supper.

Thank you Andrea the knife is very comfortable to use and damn sharp.

Will be exciting to see a Damascus version ( hint hint )

She would've had 6, but I was able to snag one just before they left for Atlanta for my wife. She makes a really nice little kitchen blade!! My wife is enjoying hers as much as your wife Bing!!

Sweet little knife. I didn't know Andrea made knives. Pretty cool.

That is really quite nice, I'd love to get one.

Thanks Bing! I really am having fun making them. I started because we are mentoring a high school student who wants to be a knife maker, and I am working with him this year. I am so happy that your wife , and Erics is enjoying my work and I am totally looking forward to making some damascus this summer and creating some new paring knives. Thank you for your support, it inspires me to make more knives. xoxo Andrea

^ Ditto what Bing said... my wife has been using hers and really likes it. It's a great compliment to the other 2 main kitchen knives 'she' has... one from Haley and one from Jason. Here it is mounted on a magnetic knife holder I made for it... already getting a nice patina from use.
