Early Dirk,

[Dughlas mor]

I`ve never been fortunate enough to see or handle a Vince Evans piece, but I have certainly drooled over the photos. It is my understanding that the dirk handles are actually carved by his wife, Grace. I would go as far as to say that they are so well done that they exceed the quality of the carving I have seen on any of the surviving antiques. I know he has a heck of a long waiting list, and I think that if you have to ask the price, you probably can`t afford one. I know I can`t!
