I sent this fighter to Terrill Hoffman to be professionally photographed, and I am very happy with his work. I would recommend
Terrills work to any of you makers that want a high quality photo, he does a really fine job and he's good to deal with also.

Thanks Terrill,

Bill

I just hope I didn't mess up the photo by reduceing it in size so I could post on BF.
 
Words cannot describe just how nice of a person Terrill is to deal with and have as friend. He is a class act.

Gorgeous knife and photo.:eek: :D
 
the knife is even better! that is a fine knife, handle, damascus, shape, and design!
 
Good looking knife Bill. I like the damascus pattern alot. Terrill's work is top notch! It would be nice to see it in higher resolution.
 
Crimeny Bill, you're making some Big Knives lately! That is beautiful, and sure deserves its great photo. Thanks for the lead, if I ever make a knife I feel brave enough to have photographed I'll send it to Terril for sure.

GAWD!! I wish I could take pics that good. Even better yet, I wish I could make a knife that great.:eek:

Outstanding work from two true artisans!


All the best,
Mike U.
 
Thanks guys for all the great compliments, I don't mean to brag but this is a beautiful knife. BUT it took Terrills talent to capture it on film. I didn't realize how bad my photos were until I seen what he can do, He is good.

Will,
OAL 12 3/4" w/ 7 5/8" blade, damascus is 1084 + 15n20, N/S hardware
and ebony handle material, top clip is sharpened. Blade was clay coated to expose the cutting edge and clip when quenched, if you look close you can see the V hardening line that runs just below the clip.

My momma always said you don't brag unless you mean to:p

Just josh'n you Bill, that's a great knife and a very complimentary photo.

Terrill did a bunch of photos for me when I first started trying to get serious and he made the knives look a lot better than I did!

I would still be sending knives to Terrill if it weren't for the fact that BladeGallery does it for me now when I take the knives in to be put up for sale.

Don't remind him, but I still owe him a knife! :o It's half-done but that doesn't count for much yet does it.

Thanks for sharing! :)

Thank you all. I must admit that one of the smartest moves I have made is when I started working with knife makers. I get to play and make a living at the same time! Plus my wife thanks all of you. She says I'm a whole lot easier to live with since I have been hanging around you guys.
 
I am in full accord with all statements regarding the skills of Bill and Terrill. As a sheath maker I have to make note of the superior craftsmanship of the sheath pictured. I place the maker on an equal footing with Bill and Terrill. Bill, is that some of your work? If not, would you inform us who crafted that beauty? Sandy
 
Sandy,
Yes, it is one of mine, and a statement like that coming from a exstremely talented and highly respected sheath maker as yourself, is very, very flattering, Thank you. That will make starting the next sheath a little easier, because I can tell you, I would much rather beat on hot steel as to sew leather, any day. :D

Thank you and all for the great compliments.

Bill
