A sgian day for the Ballards

[Howard Clark]

If it looks like a knife, it ought to do the things a knife is supposed to do. Otherwise it is merely a knife shaped object (sometimes fabulous sculpture in todays high end market).

I like things to be what they look like, and what they are, function first, fashion second.

The little plate at the end of the handle is sterling, btw.

You will like your Thorfinn sporran, Mr. Woolery, I assure you. Turpin does fine work himself.

Gee Turpin, you always have to one-up me. Those are two BEAUTIFUL blades.

I was afraid you might say that Bro. Truthfully, I was just inspired by your thread to acknowledge the fine work of the two makers. No one-upping intended. Guess I owe you a big dram.

That damascus twist is amazing! I've never seen a blade look like that.

Now imagine owning a samurai sword by Mr. Clark.

How about two - one for each of your beautiful knives!

[turpin]

done! All you have to do is come on down to Georgia.

Well done Turpin. That Gordon looks familiar... now where have I seen that before??? You have a fine piece of hardware there.

[Dr Mac]

Hopefully you are looking at it right now on your table.
