Another winner, Gene. Very impressive for such an early effort.

Nicely done! Very clean lines, love the handle shape and your choice of steel. 5160 is a classic and one of my favorites especially with a convex'd edge.
 
Very pleasing to the eye and to the hand I bet. The Jason Knight influnce is evident.
Good work!
 
GREAT looking knife, I love it!!!

If you told me Jason built it, I would believe you... and that's a VERY GOOD thing!!! :D

Oh, and which two? I think there have been about 20 by now ;) :p Seriously though, thank you- I'm glad some of my rambling could help somebody out! :)
