Beautiful, artful, and functional as well if a fella chose to use it. Exquisite and extraordinary - there really are not enough words to describe you work Dan.

It's been a terribly hard 6 months for me just to keep going. I'm glad it went to a good home Dan

Really nice, from every angle, but I really like the lines of it closed. Very tight work!

Making some fixed blades for fun. Just finished this little scalpel today. AEB-L stainless with box elder burl. My standard leather sheath [img] http://imgur.com/a/8RNZBBW[/img] Don't you just want to strangle these twits that keep messing with the links. I can't get the picture to post. I swear, after all the time and trouble to, make the knife, take a good picture, size and upload it to a site, YEAH I'm talking to you IMGUR, some geeky butthole hides the code button. I'm telling you I'm running out of patience in this life.......

Awesome thread
Beautiful knives...
You covered a lot of ground here. Heart attack, and loss of a son...
Several years of knives.
You got something going on, for sure...
