Got sharp ?

     Having watched artisans employ this technique, and even having tried it myself, I can vouch for what a piece of work that knife is. It's unreal the amount of training, patience and skill that all go into turning a rock into a tool like that. One little mistake and it's tossed in the "seconds" pile. 
     Thanks for sharing. I love that handle, too. That's crazy!

Thank you, its nice to see someone who even knows about these, as I usually get blank expressions. I am really impressed with it, and the craftsmanship is very good. I personally collect knives created by individuals who take the time and effort to make their own knives. I don't have anything against the factory knives, I just really like one of a kind, high quality pieces.

This knife looks quite familiar. Perhaps the maker has a few others out there I have run across. Nice!

     From what I gathered, the manufacturer (Cutting Masters) is a very small operation in central Wisconsin. They primarily do saw and knife sharpening, but also have made custom knives. I bet the two guys that run it would be pretty happy to hear the recognition!

This is probably my favorite, its a Vintage R. Burnley hunting knife. The maker is no longer alive unfortunately, but he created some masterpieces. This one has a super high polished stainless blade, with ebony wood handles. I think he only made a couple of these.
