Wow. That's just incredible. Definitely screams "tomb raider!" Thanks for sharing such a magnificent work of art.
 
Wow! Incredible knife, a true masterpiece!
 
Takes 24k gold balls just to make something like that. Great photos as well.
 
my, oh my... I don't really know what to say. How about this:
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully... (the rest of the song doesn't fit).

really tired. That is one of the best daggers I have seen in the last several years.
 
What a joy to take in all the details and design elements!

Very impressive

Hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Are you kidding me? I give up.

Seriously though, That is just jaw-dropping from every angle. Very impressive.

Great photos, Caleb.
 
Bruce - You've outdone yourself - so many wonderful elements
 
Words fail me! That is beyond brilliant. The quillons and pommel look like tiny Faberge eggs. Simply amazing work.:)
 
I wish I owned it. That is the highest compliment I can give. Congrats, Bruce, and thanks, Caleb, for sharing.

BTW, I also think that they are among the best pictures I have seen you do so far, Caleb. Really, really, nice. Maybe (?) it helps to have such spectacular subject matter.
 
Gorgeous, simple gorgeous!

I think you have a typo in your description. You wrote; "Blade: Ladder core, 15N20 & 1084, mosaic outer, pure nickel/4600E" , but I assume it should be Ladder Outer, and Mosaic Core.
