clean........ thanx for posting barry

That's very nice Barry, and many thanks for showing. Now aren't you glad everyone finally talked you into signing your work? All those little hands are probably worth 75 bucks apiece in the collector world. Anyway, it's some darn fine work and I am glad I got to see it. Seth

Thanks Jeff, I love your work , I saw some at the Arab Hunting expo in Abu Dhabi a while back, very clean also.
Thanks Seth, those little hands are a lot of fun, hehe.

Awesome Barry, super clean work!

 

[Scratchmo]

Very elegant!

I think the grey background makes for a very dramatic contrast with the gold. Beautiful job, Barry!

 

[Barry Lee Hands]

Rayf, Gert and Scratchmo, thank you for your comments!
Thanks Sam, you commented positively on that grey the first time I used it on a Peterson folder I posted almost five years ago or so. .
Time does fly.

 

[Sam]

5 years ago!? No way! Really?

 

[Barry Lee Hands]

Well, it seems like five years ago. . . . I must be engraving too much, hehe!:beatup:

Beautiful job, Barry!

 

[BrianPowley]

Very nice as always,Barry. I can't think of a design that would look better on this. To me, it's very "natural". (If that makes sense)

 

[Barry Lee Hands]

Thaks Eric.
Brian, I agree with you, I try to get the feel of the knife and bring out the spirit thats already there and add to it a bit.
Thank you for the observation.

 

[Tom Curran]

Totally classic. A very tasteful design. YTummy, even.

What do you mean by 'gilded pearl'? Lovely.

Tom

 

[Barry Lee Hands]

Hi Tom,
Gilded Pearl is what I call gold inlaid into pearl.

 

[vanknife]

Stunning Barry , worth staring at for a long time.

Cheers
