[Arnaud Van Tilburgh]

your shading here makes this just jump into the 3rd. dimension. dynomite job !

 

[SamW]

Absolutely beautiful Jeff...Well Done!

Jeff,

Spectacular! You're are a heavy hitter, no going back now.

Quite the labor of intensive love, with this high quality gold background, and splendid scroll design.

Maybe we should all move to Utah, could it be all that desert and mountain air, or is it the gravitational force of the combined artistic mass of you, Sam W, Lee G, and who else is carving away in your state. Or maybe my theory is quite wrong, and it is just that you are all individually really good, and would be good in any state?

Anyhow, congratulations!

Rod

BEAUTIFUL work Jeff! Over 100 inlays...WOW! GREAT design and excellent shading.

 

[mrthe]

Another great eork Jeff, like ever i love your style

 

[Tira]

Beautiful work! I have a question for you about the edges (borders) in between the gold and steel. Are the edge lines all in the gold, all in the steel or half and half? Please get a better camera - I'd love to see more detail and better pictures! Thanks.

Fantastic!!

 

[Marrinan]

I will add my congratulations Jeff on a beautiful job. Thanks for sharing.

Rod, it was all the nuke testing that took place. Fred

 

[Donny]

Jeff,

Just a dang fine job!!! How much time would you say you had in it?

Donny

 

[tim halloran]

Jeff: Superb design and execution. You raise the bar for for the rest of us with every job you post!

 

[rod]

"Rod, it was all the nuke testing that took place. Fred"

You may well be right, Fred! I used to think it was the wonderful air in Utah and Montana, then I thought it was Lee's healthy diet, but Sam W's diet is much like my own. So are you saying, Fred, if I wish to become as great as those fellows, I should pop some radium pills? Maybe I will be a coward and just practice more with pencil and paper.

best!

Rod

 

[bram ramon]

thank you everyone for your kind comments.

Tira, after i inlay the gold and file and sand it smooth I cut out the border lines right into the gold on the edge of the steel..

Mark, If william henry sends me pics of the completed knife i will be sure to post them.

Donny, I believe I have around 50 to 60 hours into this knife.

thanks again everyone for looking. Sam and Tim, it was nice to meet you guys in Emporia...
