Well, folks, here they are in all their glory!
If you didn't have the opportunity to stop my table or Lin's table in Atlanta, or if you made it to Lin's table and were simply to awe stricken with his MS knives to see these laying between us, here are the knives involved in the "Knife Game" that began in Atlanta, 2008.
Over the year's time, Lin Rhea, Roger Pinnock and myself designed and created three knives independantly of one another all from the same materials supplied by myself.
Early 20th Century Bakelite, 1903 Wrought Iron and 1 inch square stock 5160 made in 1984.
We didn't have the opportunity to discuss this much with each other throughout the year, but all during that time, I knew I was in the company of two pure Gentlemen - Lin Rhea/M.S. and Mr. Roger Pinnock.
I mostly enjoyed watching Roger's progress on his knife. I know it did not come easy for him, but he persevered and triumphed!!
I was truly honored by their acceptance of "playing" this little game with me and I hope some of you, at least, found some pleasure in the distraction.
I can tell you from the bottom of my heart, I will treasure this picture as long as I am able to make knives and will reflect upon "The Game" and the opportunity to get to know two other knife enthusiasts better than I would have without it.
So, I introduce you all to:
"Belle Blue", "Shake and Bake" and "Ol' Yeller"!

The knife was just a vehicle for that. I really enjoyed watching your and Roger's knife take shape and see the excitement build. The materials were limited and the project was an excercise for our knifemaking imagination. :thumbup:
