Another Old World masterpiece!! Your carving details are superb and walnut is not one of the easiest woods to carve.
I just spent almost 2 weeks trying to carve 2 cherubs and they are very coarse compared to your work.

Reminds me of Joe Rundell's work. Pull Joe up if you haven't already. For what you are doing his museum quality work will inspire you to greater heights.
Maybe you can even catch up to him down at the Cafe!

Thanks all for kind words
I want to give my opinion for this my work

disadvantages:
low quality of metal engraving

on image :


clearly can to see that design of metal engraving on the blade is good. line inlay on the handle also

but they don't talk to each other :beatup:

oops :rolleyes:



edit:
... I'm assuming the blade was engraved prior to tempering? ...
Yes, the blade was engraved prior to tempering
