So sad to watch this interview after the passing of Elijah. Seemed like a really talented artist. Certainly the knife designing guild are poorer with the departure of someone his ilk.
I've really liked Elijah Isham's designs. They are very unique. After seeing this short interview, I definitely understand where he gets the inspiration for his designs from.
RIP Elijah Isham. Your designs were always unique and are considered to be art pieces over cutting tools. I doubt that we will ever see designs to his level again.
@@chrischavez8366 depends how do you want use it. The flipper Is uncomfortable and has a weak detent, but if you use the hole to spidey flick the detent Is actually perfect
i know i'm late but yes, the action is not good :-/ it falls shut nicely but the detent is way too soft and the flipper tab is very awkward positioned. it's not really a great cutter also, stock is very thick and the grind is kinda..meh and the ergos are very srrange (handle is too small to get a good grip and the smooth surface doesn't help either). more a knife to put in a shelf, sadly engough.
Mentions Beksinski and liking sacred geometry within the first few sentences. This was my guy. Definitely an artist in a field dominated by engineers. If he had lived I could see him making weird metal sculptures, novel and interesting watches, jewelry and all kinds of creative things beyond knives. Really a sad loss.
dudes a prodigy. I like when designers come up with some latin or greek mythology or something to name the knives but the thing they are deriving the name from also has some sorta meaning to the actual knife design itself and isnt just a "cool" sounding name.
