Antonio such a thing of beauty. You outdo yourself ever time that I see one of your pieces. The lady is so typical of the women of Japan during that peroid of history. Simply beautiful, and eligant. Hope that your hand is doing better now.

I feel so Privilaged as a member of this forum to be able to view and bear witness to the collaborative efforts of two craftsmen such as these two artists. Their work is in my opinion simply above reproach and if anything made by human hands could ever approach perfection...this work surely does.
To use a much over-used term...I am truely in awe of their work.
I can't imagine the confidence they must have to invest so much time, energy, and patience in working especially early in a piece....knowing in their mind what the final design is going to look like... and knowing how much work is yet to be done... and how many times that piece is going to be worked on again with a tool. One little slip...one mistake...could undo so much time and effort.
These two men are surely at the pinnacle of their craft....and their work has earned my respect.
It would be interesting to know the total time it took to create that knife from start to finish.

First, apologize for my delay in responding. By overwork, personal issues and various reasons, been a long time without looking at this forum friend.
I apologize.
Friend Don Cowles, a pleasure to greet you my brother.

Friend Jim, thanks for the words. I appreciate your interest in my health. I had a severe sprain of the thumb and I have not been totally fine. Anyway not to keep me from doing my engravings.
For me it would be a pleasure to live with you, to share impressions and engraving techniques

a hug

Antonio

Tipton friend

A pleasure to greet you and I apologize for the delay in responding to your message.
Each craftsman or artist has a way of seeing reality around them. Each professional has a different way to express through their work.
This project was very exciting and I am very pleased with the outcome. It is very possible for me to do another anime recorded in the same style, to have two very similar pieces in my collection.

a hug
Anthony
