Love the look its great... but I wish I could taste it!!!!

Love the the Progressive pics and it turned out great!

You, Grandpa and The Family Are in Our Prayers.

Really nice work, the flow of the lines is beautiful.

Thank you, I printed a copy to keep in the shop.

Very Nice, always love to see pics too!

i have not made handles, But I have turned them quite a few  times. I follow the same plastic bag routine as "MB" and it works very well, but dont leave it in the sun or it will lose the moisture to fast. 

Very Nice.

Really good looking work.

Good luck with it! Good pics too.

Nice looking!

Merry Christmas to all and God Bless from our Family to all of Yours !!!!!

I run an NC Whisper Daddy 3 burner and have enjoyed completly. Have had no problems for all the years I have been using it.
They sell quite a few variations of the NC Whisper Forges all seem to be very well built an easy to use.

Welcome MM, Where are you located in NJ? I am in Northern NJ.
The NJ Blacksmith Association is a great bunch of folks
with lots of info and know how.
Peters Valley is also a great resource for classes and information.
I belong to NJBA and take classes at PV from time to time and can tell you that
Both Organizations are loaded with very skilled smiths all willing to help and share information.
Have learned alot from both!

Very clean and sharp lines, nice work!

Nice work ...Love to see pics!!!!

Very Cool Sam!!!

Nice to see and hear of folks bartering and Both parties ended up with great products...Congrats guys.

Wow that is beautiful !!!! Nice detail and realistic lines really nice work.

It looks really good PE...I think the idea of the sail will help and have so much more movement on the clapper... it will sing away. :)

Very Cool looking nice work and detail.

A realy beautiful example of Iron Art!!!

I would agree with what was said above... an 8" to 10" Chef knife, A Flexible 8" fillet knife and a good utility/parring knife.
As a side note, The santuko style Chef knife is very versatile, easier to use for most folks and
the hard point is not really needed. Other good additions are a 10" to 12" slicer and a semi stout boning knife.
If you would like I can forward you some info and/or places to research pro knives to get a better feel.
Best of luck with the project

Is possible to be "manly", "beautiful" and down right "pretty" at the same time lol..
You have captured it all, Congrats on really outstanding work!!!!
