I'm starting this thread for a couple of reasons. First, I've really come to appreciate not only the beauty and uniqueness of La Combre's knives, but also his philosophy of knife making and knife using. He does so much himself, with limited materials, and learns how to produce great quality by using his mind and skills to work things out. I find that trait admirable, and clearly he isn't wasting his time, because his skill is evident. I'd like to see his work gain more of a following.
Second, Timothy just finished working with me on a knife design I had in mind, and he brought to completion something unique that we both put our minds and hearts into (obviously I supplied none of the labor!). The results appear exquisite. I won't know for sure until I get the knife in hand, but based on all the evidence I've seen before, I expect to have no complaints.
Here's what I'll be getting in due time:
Feel free to comment, of course, but also, if you have a La Combre, shares some pictures and some words about the knife you have. Let's give some love to a maker who is doing some fine work with a workman-artist's touch.
