I disembowled myself and then ran myself over!



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!
