We have been selected to show the artistic knives made in the William Henry Studio in Oregon. I have about twelve superb pocket knives and a couple of pens made by this award winning studio. These are truly adornment for men. I've always thought that a fellow isn't dressed unless he has his pocket knife with him. William Henry knives range from fairly conservative to rich with ornamental metalwork. They are priced from around $400 to $1500 and are always made in small editions to keep collectors on their toes. I highly reccomend stopping in for a look at these top of the line gifts for men!

Octopus
My wife, Barb, creates some very interesting pieces. This octopus has a pearl for a head. She made one covered in diamonds once. I wish i had a picture of it.
Pooch Portraiture
Many people have asked for portraits of their dogs. Here is a Cocker Spaniel. In the 1980's, the Dutch and Belgian champion Rottweiler sat for me, to have his portrait fashioned in gold with a diamond collar. His name was Ettore and he wanted to eat me. His owner, a successful breeder, held him at the end of a broad leather strap. He was rumored to have cost his owner 40k. I worked very quickly that day and lived to tell about it.
Wedding Band for an Ocean lover or a Surfer
I made a band that is covered in stylized waves. It is done in the style of some Japanese graphics. This was made for a surfer couple.

I love the colors
There is something exotic, something mideastern about the combination of tourquoise and gold. It seems to have that ancient treasure look, like something that grandfather brought back from his business dealings on the other hemisphere back in the twenties.
