Zeb Camper Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I realize I'm kind of a "far out dude"... I was thinking earlier about knives. I've been tinkering around with carving and inlay, designs, fit, finishes, and overall form. I used to think what made a great looking knife was utilizing textures and stylized lines, figured woods, and metalurcical special effects in the steel. Sort of letting the material tell it's own tale while keeping the lines clean and flowing. I think that's what I thought anyway. Now I'm not so sure... clean and crisp lines show craftsmanship, but lack of a story. Like freckles, grey hairs, or laugh lines; a stray chisel mark, etch flaw, or just minor asymmetry might add character to an otherwise mastered, or seemingly captive, terribly modern, and finely machined piece. I work on construction jobs from time to time and notice little things. A short piece of trim spliced where it should have been one piece, but they ran out of material, or how they had to get creative with a fix for a situation. When you look at old work, there is a lot of this evident. It reminds you that this object was handmade, and all its slight flaws amongst the beautiful bigger picture somehow speak volumes about the piece. Just a thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Longmire Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 That's not far out, that's just the mark of an appreciation for the human side of the story. When I started making folders a couple months ago (only 1.5 so far, btw...) my wife was completely behind the idea until I showed her the finished first one. It has plenty of minor imperfections if you know where to look, but for the nearsighted or unknowing it looks pretty darned good. Now when I show it to people she says "It's too perfect! It looks like it was made in a factory, not like your handmade stuff." I told her that was the idea, since the pocketknife market seems to prefer that aesthetic. It does go against everything I've ever done. I appreciate minor toolmarks. Let me hasten to say I mean MINOR, not stray 36-grit scratches. A patch of drawfiled surface half-polished out in a hard-to-reach place is fine, though. Too many new folks latch on to that sentiment without having developed the skills to do better, which is how we end up with the beaver-gnawed 2x4 handle on a newbie-ground crowbar look. That's not where it's at. Slight flaws remaining with excellent craftsmanship and an eye for detail, that's it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyO Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) It's my understanding that artists in some cultures (Persian and Amish, for example) deliberately incorporate minor imperfections in their works because of the belief that only God (or Allah, as the case may be) can create something perfect.

Zeb Camper Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I would be curious to hear their definition of "perfect". If they feel the need to purposely mark up their work; I'll bet its different from mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeb Camper Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) Read this online the other day. Someone holds a bee. What do they have in their eye? Thought 2: "It doesn't cost you anything to be nice." I had to remind myself of this today. This one dude i had to deal with was just not having a good day (and made it obvious). I gave him a double scoop of nice with a cherry on top. Edited October 12, 2019 by Zeb Camper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
