Hello to all :)

[Tim Herman]

Hi my name is Tim Herman and have been a knifemaker/engraver since 1978. I have hung around with Sam at shows and had a great time and learned lots from him. After hours listened to Sam and Winston Churchill play music together. I also had the privledge to hang with Lynton McKenzie at show for years too. He was a fine gentleman and a great engraver and I miss him alot. Sorry for rambling lol.
I developed color engraving about 13 years ago and seem to still be the only one doing it this way. It has been my only secret but share anything else freely as I have been given tips and help along the way. I hope to be a part of this cool forum and learn lots more. Thank you Sam for a great forum. Here is my latest color engraved knife. All comments are welcome.

Mr. Cirelli, I have made one bracelet for a clients wife with a humpback whale breaching but nothing else. There is a pic on my website of it with lots of other color engraved knives.
There was a local lady siversmith in town here that we were going to try some things together but it naver came about.

Tim, It's good to see you here, I've been enjoying your work since the mid 80's from Blade magazine & Knives Illustrated. Glad you'll be hanging around so you can help some of us with your input. Dwayne

I got new pics showing the symmetry of the knife when closed. The raised clip on the blade and spine match opened and closed.
