Hi Carl, for someone who isn't a knife maker, that's fantastic !!! It would still be fantastic if you were a full time knife maker. I just love the dragon (serpent or monster) with so much intense detail and unbelievable shading. Amazing.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree.

You are a knifemaker, you just don't do it very often.

Lovely knife and incredible engraving (as per your usual).

Very Nice work Carl I like the shape of the knife to. The carved Dragon looks mean.

Thanks for sharing.

Van
