With a heading like integral bush I was expecting to see a picture of a 1970's centerfold picture lol. Love the knife.

Very elegant and aggressive lines on this beauty, accentuated with warm colors and a nice transition from forged black to bare, clean steel..!
Excellent and unique!

Beautiful Tai...I love the flowing lines on this one.

 

[Raymond Richard]

LB, You need one of those Ann Yang air hammer's to do your forging for you. This one is a real beauty!

Been wondering what you'd been up to lately, Tai. Sure didn't disappoint. Awesome!

So fine Tai! Nice work, but take it easy on the arm. Tendonitis is a @@@@@, and takes so stinkin long to go away.

Tai - like I said in a different thread, I always like to see your work. You keep it unique, and the fact that you tie together influences from different cultures than most of us is always nice. Refreshing. rock on...
