Fantastic all around but I love the CF inlay in the guard on the CF handled Tsunami Fighter. :cool:
 
Caleb, you have outdone yourself on the awesome photography! Thanks for the kind words guys. John Jones, GMS is my mark on all my knives representing an honorable status (grand master smith) granted only by the nation of Taiwan through the Headquarters of Taiwan Collectible Arts.
 
I'm feeling a little too patriotic today for the "China" damascus.. but this is impeccable work. And believe it or not my favorite aspect of ALL of this is the steel on the last knife shown. Its perfect and its what I want on all the knives I collect. That perfect wide ladder has that old Hancock and Schmidt look to it.
 
Now there are some fireworks for the 4th!! Awesome work, awesome photography. Strike up the band. :thumbup:

Ron -- exquisite knives and Caleb has done a great job too. Nothing not to like about all of the fine efforts by both of you and I agree with Jonathan -- the last one is wonderful. Great blade and wonderful work on the handle material. Something I, like JB would love to have in a collection.
 
One of Ron's wire handles would still be cool even without the blade and guard. :D:thumbup:
