Thing of beauty Stuart, JD, I'll be interested in hearing your thought's after you've used it a bit.

From concept to actual item I have followed this thread and may I say that is one of the best blades I have seen. The quality and design have all been outstanding to say the least. This is a knife that will become the sort after family heirloom. Envy and thought producing, makes me think to commission my own blade. To all parties involved in this congratulations.

Spectacular, a true work of art! What else can be said?

 

[Mesquite]

Lovely blade JD...

 

[Springheeljack1]

That's one nice looking knife, hope you have many adventures with it.

I may need some time alone with the pictures if that's o.k....

 

[Dougster]

It's rare that words fail me.

One day I will finally sort the knife in my head I want Stu to make, and I hope it is half that good.

Some nice comments here fellas, much appreciated, thank you....

It's been a pleasure to work on this one with Jon, I hope he's as happy with it as I am, it is very hard to describe but it almost feels like an heirloom already, like it has seen a few generations past, obviously with ruining any of it's lines or features I purposely tried to 'work' it a little in a couple of places, to give it a feel of maturity, a perceived rank, we'll if it has worked tomorrow....

Cheers all

I like the look of the damascus, as though coiled snakes have rested on the blade,

Tis a stunning piece of craftsmanship, the thing that really makes it appealing is that it shows high quality,handmade goods are still produced in this country and fortunately there are still people prepared to commission something that will not be practically used, but admired and treasured for the hell of it.
Well done Stu on a superb knife and JD for commissioning it.
