Guest ford hallam Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hi Rick, that`s a very pretty knife you`ve made. i particularly appreciate the way the carving on the transition area into the handle, flows into the file work on the edge of the tang, if you know what i`m getting at. I think the design is very successful. cheers, Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rik Palm Posted November 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Thanx Ford & Don I appreciate it! I kinda lost what it look like after working on it so close. My wife and son liked it but... then again they are my best fans!! Rik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janel Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I've enjoyed returning to this knife since you posted it. I am always drawn to the hidden part of the knife, the rippled bit between the scales of the underside of the handle. That is a nice touch.

Greg Delaunay Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I don't know what I can say..., yes, Rick, if one day I do not like one thing that you make, I would say it to you! ...maybe...one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
