Suru is Japanese and basically translates as "to do". It has the ability to change a word into an action. Suru seems to mostly be placed at the end of a sentence... so it is also "the final word". Although, I am flatulent in several languages, I am no cunning linguist but that's the name and I'm stickin' to it.

This one is coming to BladeShow with me.

Nice work Rick. I like the rounded coin edged fittings. Always enjoy your use of texture and color.
I need to brush up on my Japanese....... I`ve never bean that flatulent:D
Darcy:)
 
that's my kind of knife! Nice work man.
 
Punz is funz.

Thanks, Darcy. I used to work in tool & mold and went from tolerances in tenths of a thousandth of a inch to hittin' $#!t with a hammer. I find the most difficult part of an "organic/textured" look is knowing when to "stop". Most times, I take things to a high fit and finish, then distress them to get the rustic appearance. Sometimes, I stop short and leave them rough. The latter, is the hardest aspect to get past. The perfectionist in me fights like hell to get his way. I found that he is easily distracted with a nice dark ale.
 
Always a pleasure to see your works my friend.....very well done. :cool:
 
Rick, I hope your moldy tool condition clears up, and it's a good thing the 'Squatches don't care about high-falutin conversatin' and heartily appreciate your flatulence. :D

See you in a few days. :) Aboot six. ;)

Good knife, by the by. You certainly give rustic a hefty dose of class.
 
Good looking knife.
I speak several languages fluently,
Sarcasm, humor and profanity come naturally.
Your knife has a unique name, I looked it up, and it was just a bunch of squiggly lines, so that's the end of it for me.
Nice work.
