The Knifemaker
2012-03-03
This is Laurence, owner of Westside Sharpening & Cutlery Center in Santa Monica, showing off some of the unfinished blades that will become his custom Rhino knives. I took photos of him this afternoon as my final assignment for the Environmental Portrait class I've been taking the past few months. I've always enjoyed knives, so it was a lot of fun to see him work. Like photography, knife-making is a blend of the technical and artistic.
If you're in the area, you should bring your knives to him to sharpen. He knows his stuff.
[last year] I do like how this one turned out...
