That's some talent you've got there. I could imagine trying to make a knife from scratch and being a bit like Homer's spoon.
"That's a nice looking knife."
"They say he made it from an even bigger knife."
Having seen that, Dave Budds bespoke creations and the objects of desire made by D Chandler I know my skill limit. I'll just stick to buying desirable blades rather than attempting to ruin a perfectly good piece of steel.
