- 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.

Nice gimmick...let them see the inside of where the magic happens! it's hard to tell if its pretty from the picture...but I know it will be cause you haven't made an ugly knife yet.
Why'd you take the behind the scenes pics off? Now my comment makes no sense in the context of the pictures...oh well when you're that good at making knives I suppose you can do whatever you want. Really beautiful..
I like this one!
Nice work Mr. Howell - the macro shots of the forged metal really bring out the detail in the craftsmanship. You are a master artisan.
