I agree, Lin.
I think he could quit farmin' if he wanted to.
Here's a butcher knife I made a fwe years ago with 100 year old Teak:

Here's a real early kitchen knife I did.  Not much to look at but it did slice & dice well.

Doc,

I have to disagree with your statement that your knife is not much to look at. All the knives in this thread would make any kitchen look good.

Those are nice.  And kitchen knives have the potential for being used more, and harder, than a hunting knife.
Of course, slicing meat taken with a bow, so they have a place here.

All of the guys on this forum do beautiful work.  Even those some think are rough have a certain stable beauty.  Can you imagine the era where most knives were usually made by a local craftsman, who could make a career and good living by their craft?  Such work would often last many years.  Most people spend more in the long run on mass produced knives that quickly lose their joy of use by breaking, dulling quickly or feeling cheap.  Great work,guys!  Long live the blade kings!
