Thank you, I also hope most of them get used as well.
Cheers, much appreciated.
Thanks, I think it gives them a 1920's safari kind of style, at least that was my intention.
Praise indeed thank you, I doubt I will ever reach their standards!Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 12:35 am Ian, I can’t add any more adjectives to those already used. Your knives are very impressive. I see touches of Master Hattori in your work and in your folders I see touches of Dew Hara. If you aren’t familiar w/ them, that is a high compliment. If you ever decide to sell any of your creations please let me know.
All the knives you've posted Ian are over the top, you sir are a fine craftsman! I particularly like the dagger bowie, the one you were commissioned for, just gorgeous! I'm a fiend for dagger style knives and that one really does it for me, thank you for showing us!

I do have knives for sale sometimes, but shipping internationally has seemed difficult in the past, maybe things have improved.
Anyway here are some one offs, the first one was a commission for a collector I know, the second two were made as a pair "The Cowboy and the Gambler" some years back, although I no longer make bowies at the moment.
to AAPK, you're gonna fit right in! BTW, I have been receiving knives to Canada from places like Portugal and Russia, and although kindda slow due to the virus they all arrive eventually, so international shipping isn't too bad at this time. 
Many thanks. At the end of the day we all strive to do the best we can, if others like them as well it's the icing on the cake.Madmarco wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 1:38 amAll the knives you've posted Ian are over the top, you sir are a fine craftsman!

Thank you, here's a couple more pics of that one, and another from the past...Quick Steel wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 1:49 am Your Damascus Bowie is magnificent. The others are superb. Truly impressive work.
