Now, if I'd have tried to say that, it'd have taken me two paragraphs.
I think the brevity of the description suits the work - no fancy-dancy to hide poor workmanship. The lack of superfluous ornamentation lays bare the medium and the workmanship prevails as nothing short of functional art.

thanks for the kind words all! Dear Zane, I do not know what you do with all of your time, but you need to start prioritizing things a bit and start cranking some of these knives out for general purchase. Of course, prioritizing certain central Oklahoma brush poppers is always appreciated, but not necessarily required. Sincerely, Benjamin haha! I wish i had more time. got about 20 different hunters and Bowies forged out, some rough ground and heat treated. Little by little they’ll get finished. most won’t be straight up sold though. this one and a couple others will so i can buy a makers mark and possibly a membership with the ABS. after that I plan on trying to swap them for meat hunts, fishing trips, maybe guns. may not work out that way but who knows. You’re the kind of guy we all assumed was already a member of the ABS. I’d like to see some pictures of those bowies when it’s done. I’m a sucker for a big blade. |

Beautifully executed, nice flow. There is only so much you can tell by looking the rest is feel, would love to hold that one in my hand.

Great work. I like the look of the knife and the sheath. This is one of those knives that is typically only for the owner. I have a kitchen knife that looks very much like that and I can't tell you how many people have cut themselves on that knife because they use it the wrong way and put their thumb on the sharp side of the blade to apply pressure when they're cutting. Edit: This is the one I had in mind that you had posted recently when I made the comment above.  |
