I love the curves of that knife. You have a very nice eye for design. I'd love to try chopping something with that bad boy.
 
The recurve makes it flow so well with the handle. No question a great eye for design ,like Rob mentioned. The way the angle of the clip and recurve match and that amazing walnut really give a sense of flow and motion.

well the greenery in the couple pics, was some 3/4-1'' branches on a bush in the front yard, one slach was all it took, i actually tempered it back quite abit, and befoe i put the handles on, i did quite a bit of chopping pine boards, and even just beating the edge with 2''x2'' boards, and it held up fairly well.

thanks
