Sam Salvati Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Beautiful Richard! Let not the swords of good and free men be reforged into plowshares, but may they rest in a place of honor; ready, well oiled and God willing unused. For if the price of peace becomes licking the boots of tyrants, then "To Arms!" I say, and may the fortunes of war smile upon patriots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sheffield Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hot! My life is like shaving with a razor sharp machete. It's a bit awkward and I feel a sting every now and then, but in the end I'm happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Ysselstein Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hi All Here is another one A Japanese Style Kitchen Knife Richard Richard, That is just beautiful! Does the wood extend under the silver and mokume or are the fitting relatively solid pieces? I am beginning to make some knives and wonder how things are put together by people who do this a lot, thank you. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Stephens Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Beautiful work as always Richard. The only problem with a kitchen knife this pretty is that one would hesitate to use it. Still, what a lucky chef to have such a tool at their disposal! Thanks for sharing this. --Dave -----------------------------------------------"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly." -- Theodore Roosevelthttp://stephensforge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedemoguy Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Very nice Richard I think I'll have to make one like that if you don't mind. You're the same dumb pilgrim who I've been hearing for twenty days, and smellin' for three! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hessian Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Beautiful piece, how is the balance on it? If I may also ask if the blackening is from a forge process or is it from a 3rd party agent after. Again, incredible piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
