yep,  tons of tiny little details!

That's a beauty Lin.  A knife from another planet.

Truly out of this world.

Speechless!

Thank you my friends.

You are the king of theblades,Lin

wow she is pretty

Lin, you truly are an artist! Just Beautiful

Lin, I just received Knives 2014 for Christmas and enjoyed seeing your several knives in there. One of your comments earlier in this post really set me thinking.

You only had one shot at this knife - no extra material to start over if something went wrong. Every knifemaker I know has a scrap bin with unfinished knives that went wrong beyond the "fix it back up" point. Just knowing the first shot would have to be perfect would have me shaking so badly I would be guaranteed to mess it up.

I think the constraints you were working under, as much as the finished product, show that MS stamp is fully justified.

Truly a "masterful" project and another example of a knife as an art form.

Thank you everyone.

Ron, believe me I mess up plenty and suffer for it. One untold part of this is that Steve sent me the meteorite with no strings attached. He said "if you ruin it no problem. If you are successful and sell the knife, you can pay me for it." That's not going to ever happen again so I'm glad it worked out. But that took some of the pressure off. It also caused me to take my time and do some research before actually attempting the weld.

Lin that is gorgeous!

Rick
