Jason is the MAN!*(who has a lightbulb head)!
The piece was well balanced, lively, fast and incredibly light for what it is, but would still hit like a hammer before splitting and slicing whatever needed to be cut.
It went for a fair price and will be a game changer.
Joe did an AWESOME job making it all come together, proud to know my brother-from-another-mother,
Blade ROCKED this year....shoutout to Wulf!
Best Regards,

Joe it was a pleasure to spend time with you at the show. This piece of Jason's was without doubt THE KNIFE of the show for me.
This knife has a feel and a balance that defies belief. The construction is perfect with a design and line that marries perfectly with the fantastic damascus. There are few makers on the planet who could achieve this result, and none as humble and down to earth as Jason.
Joe, I thank you so much for all you do for us at BF and knifemaking in general.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this thread from day one, and still haven't been able to figure out the right adjectives or adverbs to use in adequately complementing the piece and/or Jason. "Magnificent" will just have to do for now.
EPIC knife
Legendary maker
Doesn't get much better. He'll never make another one but if he did the investors, collectors, and patrons would probably bid it up to $10k or more. It's that good.
Joe, excellent work by you too my friend. Didn't see anyone work harder than you at the entire show.
STeven, shoutout to you too bud!
