Hi Barry,

Another master piece ! What words can one use to describe this work ?

If I may ask how do you make the background so perfect black ?

The combination of gold, black, and pearl white makes the knife so elegant !
Really superior piece of delicate beauty...

You would say "Barry's Black Satin background", because you would use special black ?

Thank you for sharing !
