Nice work, Bill. How did you incorporate the Southwest emblem? I just recently got some curly koa and I'm really looking forward to using it now.

Very cool knife.
Way better than I would have asked for. It is always a pleasure seeing what you come up with.
The mosaic pins on the sides of the wings make me think of propellers.
I am very, very happy with the knife and I am sure my brother will be showing it off to everyone.
Thank You.
