Fred/A, I just love your stuff. It's always so clean and simple, with just the right touches that take it to the top.
.........been waiting patiently for your latest post !! nicely done indeed !! just came across another nice ziricote slab myself, really like that wood
Thank's a lot, glad to be back... I recently move to my new house, so I have to rebuilt my shop and got not much time for knives and forums. Hope I will have more time for knifemaking and to come see your work too. See you soon.
That is an amazing piece of functional beauty. I like the little gritty bits on the ricasso, as it gives some idea of the hand crafted process. I wouldn't know what to call a blade like that, as it is unique in my experience.
