Doesn't say Maestro on the scales... just the blade.

Actually, he does inscribe his name on the scales. Should i want differnt scales on a my Maestro... it would be visiting the shop of its birth in Italy... unless i could get him to fly over and do the change at my house

slapping any old scales on a work of art would be like adding a 13 apostle to the last supper. i would apply this to any craftsman's work... it would be like painting a camo pattern on a walnut Purdey.

I think a bigger blade would be cool (most of mine are smaller), and damascus steel if it doesn't break the bank. Don't really care about handles, they are easy to swap.

Yes, Takeda damascus and reasonably plain handle..............7/8?

Thanks!

Amen! Preach it brother. Oh.. ya... +1 for the above comment.

Well, 89 people have voted in the unofficial poll...
and the results stand as such:
size is neck and neck so we'll have to see what Lynn decides.

ATS 34 steel won out by a small margin, and I'm assuming price was the deciding factor there. maybe when Lynn gets price info we'll see if things stay the same.

Wood handle won out by a landslide and Olive seems to be popular.

and Spanisjh point won by a large margin.

So now we know what we want as a group, lets see what Livi offers.

Let me be the first to say that credit cards and paypal are standing by.

I have $400 put aside, and am working on more...

i would like something on the wedge side to quarter hollow, 6/8 or bigger. maybe he could run the numbers for an option on blade material with all the same design, i really like the looks of the damascus blades. i lean towards square or french points

I just need the numbers. I have $400 set aside for this.
