    Yeah , how 'bout it.

    Some sites call me the magician, maybe the "magical moron" would work! Works for me but then what do I know? Been breathing too much Horn dust.

    Here is the "Phoenix" as I call this blade. That's my interpretation of a stylized Phoenix into the face. The red inserts represent fire right next to the wood of the scales which creates a sweeping line between the wood and the inserts. The spine work is the spiraling ascent of the bird...
    OK,, that idea was influenced by some Scotch..... which greatly influences morons. Kitchy,, but man does it shave.

    Damn it mycarver, you know what I've said about your work. I'll not repeat myself. What I will say is I want to be reincarnated as one of your creations so I can be admired for centuries.

    darn fine work there friend.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    HA! well I'm glad your razor restoration skills overshadow your photography skills! Superb work!
