Any women knifemakers killing it?

LOLZ

Well, it's got the thing in it that's being marketed - i.e. CM. The knife is kinda irrelevant, as you can tell by the fact that the shot shows you nothing of it.

the fact that the shot shows you nothing of it.

Smart move IMO.
Always marketing skillz to the front. But at least she admits to being an 'imperfectionist'

I stand corrected. She's kicking butt and taking names..... 10.5K followers on IG. Way to go girl

LOLZ. Hope this one doesn't break a nail

Imperfectionist? Isn't that the TF motto?

Not from where I'm standing.

Hmm...so you just ordered one without any special requests except for maybe height, length and weight? No picture inspection for "Wabi Sabi"?

Maybe he's just standing in the wrong place?

I would never buy any high priced knife without knowing specs and seeing pics.

Nothing screams serious craftsman like manicured hands and a photo where the object is the only thing out of focus.

I think there's a quickly growing interest currently in greenwood carving and "sloyd". Accessible craft, a axe and knife and no dustmaking. You can do it in the living room.

Ahh! True!

Like spoon carving I suppose? Which you can start with an axe! Wood is a lovely material to work with... The problem with modern office life is that you don't get a chance to work with your hands much... I can see why these crafts retain interest.

Axes are interesting... before chainsaws, forestry crafts were very labour intensive. In the age of technology it is easy to view the world through a culturally 'flat' lens. Older manual forestry tools tend to be quite nuanced by culture/region - adapted to the wood in the area and what their specific task was for.

A long while ago I got fascinated by this and read up on axe sports. I found this to be a mildly humorous take on competing in an Australian wood chopping competition:

Axemen's News Online: What to do if you go to Sydney Australia and cut hardwood

Wood in Australia is hard. The axe shapes that developed in Australia were adapted to these woods. It sounds like competitors from Europe and America often came under prepared for that difference!

Wood in Australia is hard.

Board/handle makers discover this, indeed

wow, from the comments I discovers Turo Knives, another maker of knives from rasps who was inspired by CM. Their knives look better, but they’re still rasps! Ugh.

There's no bevel grind an hour on the buffing wheel can't fix.

Very pretty knife. Would make a nice gift for a SO

That's another beaut by Andrea, for sure.

Hopefully the website you link to will change the story on this one.....

I have an MM. It can only be described as exquisite. I don't think it is a knife I will ever get rid of, and it is very very good value (even though I "overpaid" for it in the EU). I hope she makes more stuff for them.
