I'm in the Independence area. Maybe after the 1st of the year we could all meet up somewhere. My knife making abilities are still in the early stages, and a bit limited to the limited equipment I'm working with, but I'm always looking to improve both. Bouncing ideas off of like minded people...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. It feels good to finally finish one up, but I still have to think sheaths, and a makers mark. Not to mention perfecting some of what I now know how to do. Justin, you're correct, it's stout. 3/16" stock. I'll switch to thinner stock after I finish up the...

Thanks, and Yes, I need to work on a Makers Mark for future knives. I was kicking around the idea of a brand name, or company name, vs. my name. My name doesn't role off the tongue as well as other names, and my intials are too common and have been used over, and over. I was thinking about DB...

Thanks Jim. I'm in the KC metro area. Don

You CAN teach an old Dog new tricks.... I've always collected knives, and then one day it hit me, why not make my own? I started following some really good knife makers around the forums, and on Insta Gram, and I've slowly learned a lot. I followed the likes of Shawn Hatcher, Dmitriy of DP...

Very Nice Work John Doyle. I've seen you post several pictures of this type of knife, and every single one of them has had a very high level of attention paid to the details. So much so, it's difficult for me to imagine making something like that myself. I'll just keep admiring your work, and...

Spectacular Work! Don

I never get tired of seeing this one. I caught it over in Jerzee too, looks Great! The hamon almost looks like smoke, or steam rolling up from the edge. Don

Impressive knife, and impressive photography! The hamon on the blade is gorgeous, and I really like the idea of the entire knife over all. The work on the bolsters was done with a great deal of attention paid to detail. I'm just not sure what to make of the art work. If I knew more of what...

Beautiful work! Flawless. Thanks for sharing your work, Don

By the way Denis, I seem to remember you mentioning in another post that you would be coming to Kansas City sometime this year. If so, is it for a show? I'd like to stop by and meet up with you. Don

Well Denis, as usual, you've made another incredibly well thought out masterpiece. Your attention to detail is, as always, fantastic. You always seem to find just the right amount of balance in shape, size, materials, and color. The sheath is also a perfect compliment to the knife. It has...

That's a pretty incredible chopper. The burl is spectacular! Very well done. Don

Nice work. You should have a good sense of accomplishment with that one. I know I would. DBAR

Pretty damn good work on the grinds on that 1st one pictured. What kind of handle material is on the second one down? I've been working at grinding a few knives myself, but my grinds aren't that consistent yet. I'm sure part of it is the grinder I'm using, and part of it is the lack on "grind...

I don't think I'd complain about either, they both look great! Don

Great Work as always! Thanks for sharing your work with us, Don

Beautiful Work! Thanks for taking the time to share your work, Don

Very Nice Collaboration. I especially like this type of blade. Don

Amazing work as usual Denis! You two just keep knocking them out! Thanks for sharing, Don
