"Perfection is very elusive." - MVPeterson
Ha! That it is though I follow your posts, especially your photos and would say you get pretty darn close. I love your knives. Being a jeweler I have a very critical eye and though I have handmade many thousands of pieces of jewelry totalling who knows how many tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, I cannot say I've ever acheived perfection.
I just believe that is a fact anytime a craftsman is making anything. Thats the point, it (whatever it is) is handcrafted and not stamped out by some machine and thus will have imperfections.
I've also learned that paying attention to small details is what seperates a real artist and master jeweler from a "good" jeweler. I believe small details (yes there are other factors I realize) are what separates a good knife from an average knife, cosmetically speaking. Thanks for the tips.

Thank you to everyone for all the great tips.
