Very nice. The Box elder is stellar and the blade shape scream, " Take me to the field!!! "

Yes, very nice, especially the handle/palm swell. Looks to be very comfortable in hand. :thumbup:

Thank you, Kevin! I think on my future Model 1s, I am going to move the palm swell forward just a little bit. This weekend will be the test to see what else needs to be improved on it.

Very nice Steven. I think the materials are nice and really well finished. I agree that the handle looks nicely contoured and should be comfortable. It's a good all around practical design.

Nice leatherwork too.
