I just love tapered tangs, so much more elegant! Great job on that one!

[BenR.T.]

Thanks for the kind words guys!
I am very pleased with how the design and finish came out on this one. The Koa really has to be held to be appreciated!!

Ben,

There's just something about this blade that keeps calling me back to look at it. Knife budget is blown all to hell at present and not exactly lacking for cutting tools but this one is one very nice and compelling blade.

Thanks very much trkJr, I appreciate it. It really is better in hand than the pictures show too.
