The process of knife making is a connection to the earliest of human spirits. The flaked stone cutting edge was the basis of food, clothing, shelter and protection. For this reason, I place spiritual importance upon the forms revealed in the making process.
I write of forms revealed, as their creation is exactly that, a revelation. Placing steel into a fire is always an act of faith. From that moment, the maker must follow a path, always with the feeling of being led, to a conclusion. On this journey, he must always remain aware that the beauty of the final product is not nearly so important as the joyous walking of the path and the discoveries made along the way.

Love that handle! I'm partial to that color of micarta than just the plain black.
I love the hilt on this one. Very original. When are you going to let me start marketing these for you so that you can make some real money? :0)
