Man, my photography skills stink!
Coop, Caleb or Chuck want to move to Canada so we can get nice photo's done without worrying about customs?! Hunting and fishing is good up here

It's a beautiful knife. Profile's very nice, I like your blade pattern and love your guard and butt cap treatment.
Being perfectly honest, I'm not as impressed with the handle as the rest of the knife.
Sheath's nice as well.

 

[Scott gallagher]

Great knife D I really like the blade shape

 

[S.Alexander]

Very nice Darcy. I like the carving as usual. I'll have to pick your brain about it at the ktsa show.

 

[ATSknives]

That whole package is beautiful, I love that blade.

Thanks Kevin. I appreciate the critique. Can I ask what it is about the handle that you don't like?
Thanks,

The handle's by no means bad, it's just it's a such fine piece that it leaves me wanting to see a more shapely/tapered handle.
