We hone the knife for enterprise of for war. It is the same knife, a tool or a weapon. I like the naive execution of this contrasted with the sophisticated composition

Artist Reply: i appreciate your deep insight. you speak the words i was unable to say...as always it is ah honor to receive your critiques!

Awesome work Barbara

Eerie and chilling! Fascinating!

Artist Reply: i suppose in light of 9 11 this is a bit chilling! however; in this community it was rather village like, and the knife shops had exquisite hand made silver/steel knives. mostly they were collectibles. the sheathes were equally beautiful.
