[Burton Harruff]

Very nice piece! I really enjoy viewing your work.

 

[P. McKinley]

WOW!

Gerhard - Your work is the epitome of flow and grace, and this piece is just sublime.

 

[stabber]

Beautiful piece!! great job. Love the way you shaped the guard and it flows into the handle:thumbup:

 

[Steve Nuckels]

Gorgous! Every detail is interesting! And there are alot of details! The sheath is great too!

interesting good looking knife

 

[RogerP]

Blade and handle really flow together as one in this piece. Very nice work Gerhard! I quite like the combination of texture and a bold hamon in the blade (or is it laminated?).

Wieland,

Thanks for posting your work here.

These are beautifully detailed, sophisticated designs.

(The half-integral "Woodpecker" from your site is just perfect)

keep em coming!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Not very often we see something so out of the box, yet at the same time not 'too out there'. Amazing work.

 

[Will York]

That's just drooling cool. :thumbup:

 

[Matthew Gregory]

This piece leaves me awestruck. I love every single aspect of it. The hamon is spectacular!

 

[zerogee]

So many great details - wonderful graceful lines, great bolster that integrates into the flow of the handle, great carved lines with beautiful little flourishes - even to mirroring the hamon in the edge decoration of the sheath. All that and it looks like it would be wonderful to hold and use. A lot is going on but it's not "busy", just beautiful - very well done!

 

[wieland]

thank you very much for your kind words!
I´m glad, that you like it.

@rogerP,
roger, this is a monosteelblade, no san-mai construction.

@john white,
john, one of my next orders will be a ´woodpecker´again-
I´ll post it, when it´s finished.

best regards

After seeing these pics, I get the feeling they do this knife no justice at all.

I believe that knife looks 100x better than those pictures could ever let on. That is one to feel not just see.

Very nice work.

Great job, I really like your small knives, but it is also beautiful too.

[Keith Montgomery]

Beautifully done. That is one killer hamon.
