That's awesome Chris!
It's been great to watch your work progress right in front of my computer screen glazed eyeballs over the past couple of years or so.
:thumbup:
 
Wow!! That looks absolutely beautiful. I'm just stunned by this one. It's got me thinking that I need a boar spear!
 
I have the feeling we are watching a master in the making...great knife as usual. Gene
 
Are you really as young as your picture indicates?

I don't associate that level of craftmanship with youth ... but that's probably just my narrow mind talking. :)

Fine work ... fine work. :thumbup:

i dont know.. perhaps my parent's training towards diligence. i will be 21 in April. alot of the crafsmanship has to do with the sellar guidance i have recieved here on BF as well as Don Fogg's Bladesmith forum. but not only guidance, insiration.
thanks so very much!

+1 on all the positive comments. Very nice looking. I liked the knife, but really liked the added touch the wooden holder provides. If I had a corner office in a big building somewhere, that would probably be sitting on my desk. Very nice.
 
enough chitchat- somebody buy this knife already!:)
 
hey knifemaker, did you put your MM anywhere, I can't see it.
 
beautifull piece


In knife and sheath i notice influences of a couple of masters.
You combined and interpreted those styles and techniques to elevated the combination to a higher level.


wow
