While I am late to the party on this thread--work, travels, mundane stuff--I just have to say that the file work alone made this worth the read. I was trying to figure out why you had run the first file work all the way up the handle, and then I saw the work with the wood and the obvious vine and thorn motif, and I was awed.
Thanks for showing what obviously takes a lot of work and prctice. That has passed beyond "craft" and into the realms of art.
