The collaboration knife above is made from 2 1/2" wide x 3 1/6" A2 tool steel which Darrel Ralph
has generously donated.
Matt Cook has graciously offered to do the guard and handle. When I went to his website and read his welcome
page, I knew this knife was going to turn out sweet. Here is what I read that really impressed me.
(Plus I know exactly what he means, I do almost the same thing.)
"This may sound crazy but I feel a true knifemaker can talk to his / her metal. From start to finish the blade / guard
/ handle should all be "One". Maybe I am the only one who feels this way, but to me it works."
Although I have made quite a few knives over the years, I dont consider myself a seasoned maker nor did I ever claim
to be. I have made some nice knives in the past and some of my first werent so nice but I learned from them. My first knife
looked like it was just thrown together but a friend liked it better than I did so he talked me into selling it to him.
ITS BACK FROM THE ENGRAVERS. (PICTURES COMING SOON)
