I would like to dedicate this knife to my oldest sister and best friend Sheree, who passed away from her second Heart attack on July fourth, 2012. I started this knife several months back after her first Heart attack, but sadly she never saw it finished. It was a long and hard knife for me to make as I had to take care of her in her weakened state and had little time to work on it. She loved my work and would look over every knife with wide eyes and compliment them with praise, all the while encouraging me to keep going. Little did I know when I designed the engraving, that the hearts would be so overpowering for me to look at in the finished state, not yet knowing of her future fate. So devistating that I can't look upon this knife without tears welling up inside. I will miss your company and goodness Sheree.

My sister owned our house and my shop space. I do not know how long I will have a shop, so please have patience If I owe you work, and I will try to get back on track as soon as I am able to recover from this crisis. I hope I can continue to make knives where ever I go.

Blade: S30V 58 RC. W/Rope fileworked back.
Frame: 6AL4V Titanium W/starburst filework.
Bolsters: German silver engraved with hearts, ribbons and scrolls.
Scales: Pink and green Abalone Pearl.
Back Spine: 6-4 Eli titanium with Dovetailed matching pink pearl inlays,
Celtic knot and nugget engraving, pink pearl signature panel.
Bail: German silver carved rope.


Thank you for allowing me to make knives for you!

Your sister would have loved that, and you'll always think of her when you see it. Sorry for your loss, I hope you find new digs soon.
 
Thank you guy's.... I know she can see it, and I will continue to hold them up to the heavens and ask her what she thinks! I am already working on a few ideas for a new direction.

All the best, Brad. Keep your chin up.

Thank you all, It really means allot to me... I was just sitting here thinking how quiet things are without her here. This will take some time to get used to. I guess if I can get back to work it will help. Thank you all again for your prayer and kind words!
