gift from Russell

It has been a long day and I am tired but I wanted to share this with you.  Finally!  I know I am slow.  Russell forged this blade and made me this knife.  It works like a dream in the kitchen.  I like how the handle feels.  He tweaked it until he got it just right because I did not like the original handle.  The blade comes from the first blade workshop he took.  It slice horizontally through on onion like a dream.  In many ways, that is my litmus test.  All my knives are sharp enough to cut tomatoes well but do they cut onions horizontally?  This one does.

Another reason to smile.  Maybe I will be feeling more creative tomorrow.
