Stormcrow Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Chuck Burrows was primarily a leatherworker, but he had a good number of collaborations with knifemakers (Gib and Tai being the ones I know about the most) where they supplied a blade and he did all of the handle work, fittings, sheath, and display stand, giving the finished piece his own distinctive style, hence me including him.

Donal Harris Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 The results were tru works of art. There will never be another. It was a wonderus thing two craftsman at the top of their disciplines producing something together that was better than either work would have been on its own.

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I am not a bladesmith myself, but I really like Templehound's knives. I like the clean lines, and simple fittings. They look like a working man's knife, and not some drawer queen that never gets used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosetrot Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 My buddy, Bill Fiorini. He taught me to blacksmith, I taught him to duck hunt. The metal working world lost a great one when he passed. I know I will never even come close to his art/craftsmanship/skills, but every time I pick up a hammer or make sparks on a grinder I think of him. I have a few things he made, but would love to get one of his hammers to pass on to my son who is setting up his own smithy.

Jason Fry Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I started out following Raymond Richard. Now I lean more toward David Lisch, Lin Rhea, and Jean Louis Regel, among others. Don Hanson. Veronique Laurent. Warenski, and Loerchner. Bruce Bump. I could go on and on. If you're not frequently searching for master inspiration, you'll not likely make it to master yourself IMO.
