Always think of your fellow knife makers as partners in the search for the perfect blade, not as people trying to compete with you and your work!

The maker's name is Rik Palm. He has only made a few so far. I really admire his work around the guard.

And Mike, I like that work around the guard as well.

Is that mokume or peened bronze?
Looks too rich, too me, to be brass.
