I recently obtained a piece of art that I consider to be stunningly beautiful, and the craftsmanship is nothing less than masterful. I love this kind of stuff and am lucky to have gotten it from one of our own here at RTH.

The next photo is a clue who the artist is. Can you guess who? Can you guess what it is?

More photos to follow after a while....

If we were able to carry the love and tolerance shown here into the world as a whole and get anyone to follow the example set, who knows what could be born from that?

The first person to guess who the artist is will get a coprolite specimen from me. I'm that overjoyed to have this treasure.

Truly an artist! The woodwork is as nice as the knapping.

Brian, you nailed it. Please PM me your address for your prize. I'm surprised someone guessed it this fast.

Now let's proceed to some photos....

The blade is mahogany obsidian from Oregon, the handle is live oak from South Carolina.

I've always admired his work, so that was an easy guess! And what a beautiful knife! I love that obsidian blade. But the combination of the wood handle with the obsidian is what really completes the look.

Rick's knives are something else. The blades are high precision, but the way he matches those wildly organic handles is true art.
