A knife I'll be taking to my next knife show in Janesville, Wisconsin next week.
It's been a pretty tough go of it for a while.
Without going into a lot of detail, I burned off the membrane in the eye that covers the cornea. I was totally blind for a while in that eye. Pain level of 10 on a 1-10 scale. Poor sleep. So, not much knife work got done.
Luckily, the eye tissues are the fastest healing tissues in the body.
Still not healed, but I managed to get this done.
A W1 blade with natural hamon and fabulous African Blackwood handle material.
See ya' in Wisconsin!

That's pretty dang good work for a " One Eyed Fat Man " LOL.

Hope you see the humor in that Karl. I'm glad to hear your on the mend.

Beautiful work as always.

A little True Grit humor?
I don't mind being compared to Rooster Cogburn.

Fill your hand you son of a...........!
Nice work Rooster! I mean, Karl.   :D  
I really like the sculpting you did on that blackwood.
Heal fast.

That's a beautiful knife Karl. Blackwood is one of my favorites.

Sorry to hear of the eye injury. While the eye may heal fast, eye injuries are very painful. I hope you have a full and speedy recovery.

Beautiful knife though. Thanks for sharing.

Another good'n buddy, hang in there and take better care of yourself. Made me hurt just hearing you describe it the other day.

I am glad you are healing Karl,take care.
Another nice work.

Really graceful curves and the bottom of that handle looks great. I Like that one a LOT!

Wow nice! I will get to see this beauty next weekend I hope. I plan on being there Saturday, cant wait. Good luck on the healing process Karl.

You will appreciate your sight much more now. Very happy that your sight is getting better.
