This is just a beautiful little hunter that really has a strong ABS forged influence.
A great knife/sheath package.

Everything works for me. The damascus, the beautiful amber stag, mosaic pins, the decorative thong, the textured guard and the spacers which accent it.
I would have chosen a different choil condition, however it does not subtract substantially from the overall.
The blade/handle proportions and overall shape/lines are pleasing to the eye.

Just great design and execution. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: +
 
I have been looking at Momo's pictures for a couple of years now and have always been VERY impressed with his designs and execution. I sincerely hope that he shows up at the Blade Show with about 30 knives. I would REALLY like to see his work in person.

If he was living in the Ozarks, I suspect that he could/would be a top 20 maker.
 
Chen, that was a very impressive story, and gives us much more insight into your start and career. :thumbup:

Many thanks!

Another beautiful knife Momo! :thumbup:

I see that you sign your blades "Momo" and a character I can't read, your website says you are Momotsuen, but the English translation of the article about you refers to you as Chen Po-tsun. Any name is fine with us, but I'd just like to know which name you would prefer we use?
