I just got the new Knives.com newsletter this morning and who should be the smith with the Editors choice, but our own Sam Salvati! Nice to have your work recognized. 😀

Editor's Choice this month is from Sam Salvati, US[B].[/B] Sam Salvati looks to traditional patterns for his Bush Knife. >>> read more

Remember:
If you have a favorite knife, please tell us about it. If we agree we may feature it in our Editors Choice feature which we will publish from time to time during 2012.

Nice job Sam,
Tim

Very cool! Sounds like you impressed the guy and to impress a guy who makes his living looking at knifes I would say you should be holding your head high...

Whatever you are, be a good one.

I think you're as good as many of smiths twice your age, blade pervs especially. Your imagination and attention to detail are a testament to your dedication to the craft and once the swelling goes down you'll be even better!....CoolCool

Well done Sam! Congrats!

I'm curious as to how you became such a successful bladesmith without listening to the 'experts' on IFI though....

Thank guys!

Mark, not sure. I do consider it a huge technical jump ahead in my knifemaking when I stopped reading IFI for knifemaking information!~
