LarB Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) That is superbly stylish, nice work!! I've never been in to 'knife blocks' for my kitchen, but gee you've opened my eyes up now! I also didn't realise ply could look that good, what finish did you use? Edited July 20, 2015 by LarB smitty0312 1 Quote

wombatie Posted July 21, 2015 Report Posted July 21, 2015 Wow that is great. I think they got what they asked for. Marg smitty0312 1 Quote
Lucky2 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Posted July 21, 2015 Dan, you did a very nice job of designing and cutting your version out, and they look fantastic. I have to admit though, that as much as I like yours, I like the original one just a bit better. In the original, the Spartan fighter looks to be defending himself with whatever. Is there any way, that your fellow could hold a piece of the knife set to look the same? Len smitty0312 1 Quote
woodduck Posted July 21, 2015 Report Posted July 21, 2015 Thats a cut above the rest,& very unique .Well done smitty0312 1 Quote
