Comment by Jan Carter on October 14, 2012 at 7:20: When I get home I will try to get us bigger pic of those materials. I think I can expand it on the PC. His work is indeed incredible and it's nice to hear someone talk about a knife as a peice of art. Micheal says he can look at the knife and "see" what it can be. His passion for knives and the folks that collect them is evident when you talk with him.
