Very nice, I like those a lot. They remind me of a picture I saw sometime back of a "gentleman's knife" by Don Fogg.
Could you share some about how you did the bolsters? Forged, Carved, Turned?
Thank you Dan and Brian, I like the lines on that one the best my self.
Justin -Wow I wasn't expecting to be compared to Don Fogg, high praise thank you... I rough turned the bolsters on my lathe first and then forged the blades, from there it was all done with files, if I do this again I don't think I will turn them as I ended up filing everything to the point that I am not sure it saved me any time and it did make the forging quite a bit more difficult.

Both of you do fantastic work. One of these days I hope that I meet Coop. Been a fan for a long time.
