As a collector of Don's work, and a student who has learned great things from him.....I prefer the "fully" finished pieces to the knives showing a "duality"....but recognize that tastes are quite different, and there are many who find this appealing.

Best Regards,

I certainly understand your preference. In fact I tend to agree. I am mostly stunned at how controlled and deliberate his "unfinished" look is. It doesn't have that quality so much of "found art" that some others who go for this style will rest upon.

Look at this piece he collaborated on with Jim Kelso, these are two differing sides of one knife....the restraint, and end result that he was searching for are clear as a bell, as is that duality..... This piece was completed a long time ago.
