Don't think I didn't catch sight of those registered 'H' pins. Wayy coool.

Love the yin-yang tsunami wave. The handle, with the flat facets will be secure to wet hands.

All this said it's the CRAZY steel that magnetizes my eyeball.

You've found a great style and market, Randy!

Props.

Randy - That's extraordinary! The "H" pins are the cat's meow, the engraving adds a whole lot of class(like it needed any more) and that stunning box caps it all of.

This is, by just a smidge, my favorite of yours ....... so far. I always look forward to seeing your new pieces.

Thanks for the look-see.
