Another great combination of utility and artful attention to detail. Very distinctive.

I am sure not everybody will get how difficult it is to get PERFECT details like that; just mention the rounded spine jimpings...how they fade so cleanly and simmetrically!!!!
I have yet to see (or even imagine) better hunting knives than yours!

Couldn't agree with you more, stezann. Now that I've had the chance to work with a John, in his shop, I can tell you firsthand that his methods and attention to detail are indicated in the work you see.

I especially like the light fluting on the guard. Your knives never disappoint :thumbup:.
