Here is mine, really nice and very well made. I just love the scales which are walnut diamond wood.

Katz wildcat, stainless steel blade with a cherrywood handle, a little heavy for general use but if you have large hands its very confortable, and besides i like it enough so the extra wieght doesnt bother me
Here is my favourite user at the moment the second knife I made.

Here's my Bernie Garland damascus, beautiful in the hand and holds a fantastic edge.
I've had it for about 6 months after spending years debating the expense of a serious hand-made knife I have no regrets at all.

I've seen one or two knives before, a lot of them i like, some are really nice, but i have got to say that that Bernie Garland knife in Variant 13's post is probably one of the best looking user knives i have ever sen. It really made me sit and gawp for 5 min's. After wiping my keyboard down i have to ask, is it 3mm or 3.5mm thick? If it is, then i would probably go as far as to say that it is my ideal user. Bearing in mind that i have not handled it. It looks flippin' awesome! I'm not a knife collector, but please can i have it.

No it isn't
I've dinged it (twice), sharpened it (several times) cut through sap and blood, scraped the sheath through brambles and got that lovely wood all sweaty and clammy. Stained and cleaned the blade. All sorts really #.
Its a fantatsic tool and, whilst Stu's work is art and scuplture combined, I designed it for a purpose. It would be a shame not to use it - I do take care of it and it gets a good clean and strop after prolonged use - but then so does my Mora. Seriously, I rather think stu would be disappointed in me if I didn't give his tools a good work out

I do agree Red, it needs working
OOh err stu - got me words im a mucking fuddle there
They were the ones stu took before I got my mucky paws on it Chris. It is far from trashed now but has a few fine sharpening marks, a mutch shinier bevel (constant stropping)
I guess I could polish out the marks - but I'd only get more so why worry?

Now you are all going to think I am greedy but I think it is simply unfair, I mean on Desert Island Discs you get to choose 8 records and there is simply no way that one knife is enough so here are mine..maybe not as sexy as most posted here but I love them anyway.
First I have to include frosts narrow blade sloyd, the world would be a poorer place without it (or at least many begining woodcarvers would be poorer, or maybe they would never start being put off by the high cost of hand made knives)
Next a simple folder..first folder I have seen on here. It's there because I made it as part of my wife Nicola's (AKA Doctor spoon) research with traditional Sheffield knifemakers.
Then a couple by my favourite Swedish smith Bo Helgesson, his hook knife is incredible in a league of its own and another with a masur birch handle, I was given it by the guy who runs the viking ship museum in Oslo and it reminds me of Scandinavia whenever I use it.

perhaps one of the best i have made, custom freehand engraving,10,000 year old plus Siberian mammoth ivory scales, handmade mosaic pins from top us pin maker and razor sharp and is a user knife not for show.
