That is one good looking design and workmanship! I like the way the blade is handled at the point. The spalted wood with dark wood is what my wife likes in her kitchen knifes, except with an ivory spacer the way you have copper spacer. I'm starting a carving knife for the wife this weekend - if you don't mind I'd like to use your general blade design?

Fine looking knife you have there. I also like the darker look of the handle.
