Take a gander at the two blades Rick has posted. Absolutely beautiful:

I'm particularly fond of the first one; so much gorgeous activity going on. Time to check the penny jar.

Thanks for posting those Jeremy.

every time I see an example of Rick's work I can't believe that he hasn't received the same publicity as some other makers. He definitely doesn't get the accolades that he deserves. I've seen several examples of his work and every one has shown an excellent sense of shape, proportion, and detail.

Those are excellent photos and the blades they portray validate your statement admirably. I'm impressed...
