Wow, Brad, those are really impressive!

As someone who loves to cook I really appreciate a knife that is both functional and beautiful. I have one handmade knife in my collection of kitchen knives that I purchased at a crafts fair and I use it every single day.

It's pretty, but not as pretty as the knives you've posted here!

I'm proud of understanding a lot of the descriptions from my obsessive watching of Forged in Fire, lol.

Beautiful knives, Brad! As someone who hardly cooks, I don't have very special knives and definitely not a handmade one, but I can appreciate the work that has gone into these and the aesthetics of knives. My favorite is the one on the right with the sheath!
