Every edge was CRISP. Every surface was finely brushed. All junctions were invisible. THIS maker is fastidious!⁠

⁠
Kevin's 'feather steel' is unrivaled, and his collaboration with handle artist @PushkarevKonstanti ALWAYS gives me pause.⁠

The turquoise accents are tastefully placed! Kevin lives in Wyoming, so this is truly appropriate.⁠

'Goblin folder' by the late Jim Schmidt, MS. These unusual carved heads always on the root of a crown stag are testament to artistry and diversity.⁠
⁠
Larry Fuegen has many examples also. This had to have been made in the mid-nineties.⁠
⁠
No one NEEDS this. Everyone APPRECIATES this! LOL!⁠

Rich beauty! @Dellana's work is ALWAYS about organic flow, exotic materials, and luxury curves.⁠
⁠
Her usage of gold is characteristic in ALL of her work. The three 'Dellana dots' (Named for her from Jim Schmidt who was a mentor) are always a *bit* off in unison. That's her intention. Not linear. I like that.⁠
⁠
The dreamy Mother of Pearl is as fine as I've ever seen. The filework and backlock says "I'm a veteran at this!"⁠

I rarely get feedback from these posts, and I cannot tell if the 'view count' is growing, as it's STUCK at 3-million! HA! (A first class problem.)

LMK if you browse? Do these work for you? Is it a resource for Bladeforums?

Thank you.

Jim, I can't overstate how much I appreciate your photos. I hesitate to clutter the thread with Ohh Ahh, but please know that they are appreciated.
 
I browse this thread anytime I log on to BF. Which is most days.
I also "like" many of the knives.
Thanks for posting them !
 
This thread is literally the best source on the internet for being able to view the best and brightest makers work in the custom arena. I have to say as well, your expert photography and staging have given me so much appreciation for different styles and makers that I would never have been exposed to. Please know that a lot of us who collect customs look at this like the catalogue of The Met.
