thanks for looking
 
Thanks Tad.

Mr. C, This knife has already sold. I just posted in the hopes that some would enjoy seeing them. thank you
 
Thank you Everyone.

It is kind of funny this knife here at blade forums has far less looks and post than the other two I posted. While on one of the kitchen knife only forums it is totally reversed.
 
Hey Bill, First one I have seen of the new steel. Looks like Mary jo is going to need a new knife block just to hold her BTB,s. See you soon. Gary
 
Gary, thanks my friend, see you soon.

Keith, Ya got to stay around at least for a while. I'll be sendin ya a couple of knives soon and wouldn't want them to get lost.
 
Lovely. I have to open all your knife threads, but especially your kitchen knife threads. They may not be as racy as bowies, or fighters but they sure would be fantastic in my kitchen, and get a lot more use.
 
thanks Big and Liam,

I like posting picture up but usually just finishthem up and mail them off.
 
Bill, I just love this one so much. PM sent.

Cheers..........Pete

I love how the borders of the san mai layers flow into each other like a hamon.

thank you. I believe the shadows to be caused from the migration of carbon from the high carbon core into the low carbon cladding. but whatever it is I think it is a very cool affect.

Of course it did! I've seen your knives in person at EE sir, such excellent work!

It is funny how the different knife forums have their different tastes. If you posted this on the Kitchen forum over at KnifeForums everyone would go nuts!

I'd have to infract myself for inappropriate language if I actually said what i was thinking when I look at this knife. Perfection.
