Thank you for your comment and your interest but neither is for sale - it's real hard to put together a bunch of knives for the show and I need to start somewhere

That variant is super slick. I like the tumbled finish and overall it looks very professional.

You could always have it sold in advance, yet not shipped. Display it for others to enjoy and drum up further business, then ship it to me afterward.

Love the girth in that handle.

Both exquisite knives man. Not usually a fan of the compound grinds but that one is very well done. The cutting edge looks continuous.

Again, thank you for your interest and suggestion but I would prefer not to have a bunch of 'sold' cards on the table - I want to give people at the show an opportunity to buy a knife from me.
Thanks for understanding.
