Below are some pictures of what I will be bring to Santa Barbara. Please excuse my photo inability.

I had some comments about my use of screws in the past so I took those to heart and built two folders for the is show using only 18k gold pins.

Wow! Those look great!

I especially like the Bowie and that first folder!

Thanks for showing.
 
Wow Josh. Your getting pretty well rounded and its great to see new styles.

Whats that on the bowie- W pattern?
 
Thank you for the compliments gentleman. The steel on the bowie is laddered W's. Good eye Jon.
 
That's a fine looking line up! Santa Barbara is already a beautiful place. Those knives will be right at home.
 
WOW Josh. All great looking knives. The takedown Bowie and the folder with tortoise shell are my favorites. The carving you did on the tortoise folder is stunning and that bowie is just gorgeous!

I'm sure you will have a great show with that lineup.

Thank you:). And you did so with great success and creativity, imo!
 
Great work as always Mr. Smith. The first folder is particularly nice and that bowie handle is stunning.
 
You will have a well decorated table Josh.

The tortoise folder and the bowie are exceptionally fine pieces.
 
I like seeing how much variety you show in your work. That tortoise shell folder is something else. So is the frame lock folder. My favorite though is the take down bowie.
 
Josh That tortoise shell folder really hit the mark I like them all. but that tortoise shell folder is very nice and hard to stop looking at. Good luck in santa Barbara.
 
Yes, Josh, I think the others have nailed it -- cudos for the Bowie and the tortoise folder. Love them both.
 
Really nice work Josh!

Look out for my good friends DES & LYNDA HORN at the show.

They're travelling all the way from South Africa, probably landing just about now!
The Santa Barbara Show looks to be a great concept (multiple art forms).
I hope it goes well for everyone!
