I'll start out by saying that I am the proud owner of this knife.I just got off the phone with Bill so I am seeing it for the first time.I know that Bill needs no introduction on BF and I would have to say,he is known for his gorgeous wood handles so if this knife seems a bit different from his normal pieces,I have to take the credit or blame for that depending on your opinions of it.I make custom bow grips and Bill was kind enough to let me supply the handle materials that I had stashed for my personal use.Bill had made a similar knife a long time ago and I happened to see it in one of his albums and knew I had to have him make me one.I have a list of makers who I hope to own a knife from and Bill was at the top of the list.Bill,all I can say is you nailed it buddy!Its just what I invisioned it to be.I love it and cant wait to have it in my hands.Thanks so much and I have a feeling we will be talking again in the future.Awesome man!!!

Another nice one. I do believe you are the most productive maker here. You must eat & sleep in your shop.
