Very nice piece! You're really tempting me with your last few knives. My piggy bank has ribs showing though. Nice work! Meteorite is one of my favorite bolster materials.
 
Again...this is just drop dead gorgeous....I would love a knife like this in simpler materials that I can afford to use.
 
I sincerly appreciate the kind words. Knifemaking is first and foremost a labor of love. I'm sure most makers would agree. Although on some knives it more labor than love..."darn pin keeps bending...or....oh (fill in your favorite expletive), my hand slipped"...etc. ;)
 
this is just drop dead gorgeous

You ain't kidding. It's a true work of art. I don't think that I would ever be able to use such a knife for it's intended purpose. I'd just take it out of the sheath and drool over it. Then put it back. Then take it out again and drool some more, give it a good night kiss wipe it down and put it back in it's sheath. :D Don't think I could bring myself to cut anything with it. :o

Beautiful work Wayne.
 
I haven't considered incorporateing a "drool cup" into my designs but it's doable I suppose. :D What a great compliment. I'm honored to receive it.

Thanks you Mad Russian, you!

You need to, along with putting a "disclaimer" in the original post to avoid drooling on keyboards........ I've almost shorted mine out twice now looking at this knife.......:D

Simply beautiful !!! :thumbup:

If this weather down here clears up and I make any money next week and this knife is still here......... it just may have a new home.

A bunch of "If's" I know.... but maybe, just maybe..... :thumbup:

Great knife....... ;)
 
Thanks Teach! :thumbup:I'll get to work on the cup! Maybe a bib would be easier to ship though....Hmmmmm??? :p

I hope the weather cooperates just so you can work, plain and simple. Too many people not able to do that regardless of the weather.

And if you have a little left over and if Pradatorius is still hanging around - and if you still choose to get her, then I suppose she's going to live in the South!

Take care and God Bless!
 
I'll take it Wayne..... :)
If it is still available at the weekend price..... [I fell asleep before I posted last night, getting old is tough..... :D ...]
Gotta get to work right now but will settle up with you tonight if the deal is still on. :thumbup:
Let me know, and ....... thanks..... ;)
 
SOLD to teacher (of course at sale price cuz a man's gotta sleep!;)) pending funds later this evening. :thumbup:

Thanks Chuck!!! I'll get it ready to go.
 
Thanks Wayne..... :thumbup:

I'll get PayPal sent in a minute or two...............

IF, I don't fall asleep first......... :D :D ;)
