That is a work of art! Nice to see a profession where "Master" still means something.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

John,
Welcome to the 21st century. 
Honestly, those pictures barely do justice to how beautiful those knives are in person. Work of art, definately.
Cheers,
D.

I thought you guys might also like to see some practice plates. I'm leaving mid November for a one on one with Sam Alfono, he's one of the best in the U.S.
