Something "new"

One of Mastersmith Audra Draper's first dozen knives she made! I got this Sunday at a local gunshow.

Audra is a legend in the bladesmith community (and one of the best people you'll ever meet).

Love the handle

It is very ergonomic. I associated it immediately with Ed Fowler's work from 30 years ago and Audra told me she made it in Ed's shop way back when.

I was working on designs from Philip Simmons almost 30 years ago. Not bladework but similarly strong tradition

Yes sir, the shop I worked at worked with him on a design that he made for a gate that we built for a historical project
