That is one hell of a blade! Leather work and details fit/finish look beautiful!

Really well done-

This is one of those knives that frustrates me that it hasn't sold. Making that knife would be complicated to say the least but then go and make it out of 10V? Ridiculous skill, patience and fortitude. Hats off.

On top is that this is just as much "go" as it is show. A beast of a blade. Just awesome.
 
The entire outfit is beautiful. The craftsmanship is "outrageous." I really like it; you can tell.

Lol as I read the end of your post, I read it as "I'll not drop price one bit since I have a wife that will hunt me down and use it on me", because I was thinking that's what my fiancé threatens every time I talk about dropping the price on one of my knives. :D

I'm a career machinist, so I was instantly drawn to this. A lot of setup time and fiddling here. Impressive. I agree not to let it go for a cent less, it's worth it to the right person. It's not even my style and if I had the money I'd buy it just to have it.
 
Let me help out here...Keep that wife of yours in the kitchen instead, cooking hot meals. Leave the hunting to us men. Besides she'd probably prefer something in Pink. Just my two cents, very awesome knife.
High Level Skill went into this one & a lot of time Butch.
 
i like shooting but hate all the extra work. she a great cook and likes to hunt/fish so its win win for me. she hates pink and so does her little girl (tho she des put up with purple )
sure dont hurt that she not only puts up with my knife making "job" but also is fronting the cost of the new shop(16x24 and 2 floors)
i could not be luckyer or happyer with my life

i think what killed the quick sell is the fact that its not hand sanded but anyone that has worked with 10V knows that the aded time and cost woudl never get recovered
 
Your trueness to your beliefs is admirable. Your work is exceptionally, exemplarary. Was joking earlier about keeping the woman in the kitchen. This is high level work, you can't see any lines between bolsters/pommel areas. Just one Solid/Fluid piece of loveliness. I commend you.
 
This is a real beauty. I can't imagine how much time and effort was spent on this. This isn't a particularly easy steel to work, is it?
 
didnt see the smillie so was a bit put off bob thanks for clearing it up
as for "fit up" ther are only 3 pieces to this knife as the guard and but cap and blade are all one piece of steel and then there is 2 scales inset
cpio 10v is no joy to work with but it sure makes a great edge holder
