WOW..... WOW.... WOW.....
I'm confident you could even find a 5-knife Master Set if you really want one. These IXL knives are out there. You just gotta hunt for them. Auctions vary a lot in price so do some finished auction research before you start spending. There are deals to be had. I heard back from Bill Feeney today and he's going to take on my pearl canoe project. I'm super happy about that and have decided on what I want done. I'm going to keep my 3rd canoe as close a match to the Orgill Bros. knives as possible. This means a scrim only on the front of the knife. I decided it's better to have the big slab of unmarked pearl on the back. A cherub ended up in the ocean when I tried to fit him on the knife. There just isn't room to keep them flying above Venus, so she will be all by herself on the pearl. In keeping with the Orgill knives, I'm also going to have Bill scrim a matching mammoth ivory plaque with the entire Cabanel "Birth of Venus" image (including all the cherubs). The plaque may have to be a bit bigger than the Orgill ones (to fit the whole image) but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Here are the mock-ups I made.
