I actually didn't do either of those things, but it seems that my readers (all three of them) are sadists and only comment on my posts when I hurt myself. (take a moment to reflect on how wrong you are). Well anyway, I made some really pretty knives.
This knife is made from a farrier rasp and some maple wood that I bought in Oregon.
This Maple cost a hundred dollars! I can't believe Silvia let me buy it but it was really pretty.
These two knives are for Chelsea and Meridith. I promised them some tiny knives a while ago and finally got around to making them. I was going to make a matched set but then I thought they are not identical, why should their knives be? They are cut form the same metal and forged in the same fire but are way different; just like you two. Cool, right? The handles are made of myrtle wood and if you are not familiar with myrtle wood you should do some homework and see why that might be special for you guys. I haven't decided which one should go where. I think that the first twin to comment on this post should be able to pick which one she wants. Ready go!

You have achieved favorite cousin status!!! Those are awesome knives, and I'm super excited! I can't decide which one I like better. Maybe the one on the top? Okay, I'm off to research myrtle.
ReplyDeleteSuck! She beat me! But, I will always be the REAL winner because I was born first and there ain't nothin' you can do about it, nerd! BAM! But it's all good because both of those knives are freaking sweet and I'm going to join the Jets...or maybe the Sharks, so I can bust out my tiny machete and really kick butt and take names! Richard, you are awesome. And you have a real gift. I can't make anything. Ask anyone. Anywho, keep posting because I love your blog--all three of us love it. Do it for us, Richard.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Ken!!! Your knives are awesome, I'm a fan!!
