    BEAUTIFUL Nick. Similar in style to one you made a while back if I recall.

    It is CLEAN, and every detail just looks right!

    Just beautiful Nick. If a knife could be poetic, this one is to me.
    The damascus really has a topo map look to it, like islands in the sea.
    wonderful.

    hard to figure out what to say here, but that's a fantastic piece. The pattern going on in that steel is something else, and it looks like you brought it out in the nicest possible way. Handle design is phenomenal.

    Beautiful knife Nick.
    I think the integral fighter design of yours is my favorite.
