Mike and I have a knife show to attend this weekend. We have some beautiful as well as practical knives to display this year. I just finished designing the knife stands and we set up tomorrow. I am including a scan of one of my kitchen set Mike just built me. The handle is out of rare Alaskan coral and there are 6 knives to a set. The block is made of purple heart, the whole set is gorgeous! It is supposed to be *mine* but every year he ends up selling my set and I have to use an old cruddy store bought one! LOL This year I put such a price tag on my set it WON'T sell!
Excuse the sanding dust still on the blade!

Wow! That is beautiful! If it does sell...maybe you could hint that you'd like a set of your own to keep...maybe as a Christmas or birthday present?

Bundy we have knives all over the world. Shipping overseas is not a problem. If you click on the link in my signature of my post you can go to our homepage and see our work. Email me if you would like to buy a knife, but we build them from scratch and do all the work but heat treating ourselves, so they take time (about 9 months) to finish.
Mike loves challenges and custom orders too!

WOW!!!! This would be the perfect gift for my brother. It would have to be Medieval looking. I will put some thought into this and then let you know and you can give me a quote on costs, shipping etc. They are truly beautiful.

Good luck! Hope you don't sell the knife :tounge2:

Thank you for reminding me. Hubby turns 40 on Monday. He gave away his beautiful and practical skinning knife (no flames please) hand crafted of elk horn several years ago. I know I won't be able to get ANYTHING before next week even, but I need to head over to Kraftyworld. Might need to "talk" to you about making one. I know nothing about blades, but I know they're important!

I know how busy you are now.

Best wishes,

Laurie

Tis a great looking knife.

Would it be possible to make a knife or miniature replica sword from a picture?

Just checking in before I get to bed. I am exhausted, we almost sold out of product by 4:00 p.m.! There was one distinguished gentleman with a roll of money who wants my kitchen set! Even at the outrageous price we put on it (because I don't want it to sell) He is supposed to come back tomorrow and talk to me about it, I was away from the table when he stopped by.

The lady sharing the vending area with me is in the process of opening up a new rescue shelter! We had a long talk and I ended up selling her an ad on Meowhoo.com.
Met up with some old friends, got a few orders to scrim pistol grips for some gun merchants and just had a really full day.

Ady- yes, we are still planning on the Vegas show, Mike is working on some gorgeous minatures to sell there. Loveless, anything you can send my husband, he can build. He enjoys the challenge and is very good at what he does.

I also am getting a new feral tomorrow. But, this time, he has a home. The lady trapped him, got him neutered but is clueless as to who to soclialize him, so I told her I would do it for her as long as she wants him back and he does. I saw his photo, he looks like a Maine Coon mix- I would guess he must be 2 years old? Right now he is living in a cage and feaking out, totally understandable, so tomorrow after the show, he is coming home with us.

I have to go to bed now, I am beat!

Have a good Sunday all..........

Congrats! Glad to hear all went well - with a little bonus to boot! (Lady creating a Shelter, selling an add on meowhoo.com - big day!)

Go get your rest. You've earned it!

Oh - sorry to hear you're selling the set, but so glad to hear you might be getting a great price for it!
