Welcome to the forum. If you stick around you will see almost all of Bill's knives look to nice to use. But don't let that stop you. Bill wants you to use them, that's why he makes them. Just ask anyone with one of his blades, that first cut is the hardest to make. :thumbup:
 
Thanks for the welcome, I've watched Bill's work for a while, the attention to detail in his work stands up with anyones. I am sure they are fully capable of being used hard in a camp situation, but they would also fit quite well hanging on the wall in a art museum.
 
That is one killer knife. I believe I would have kept it!
 
the wood was the hardest to part with im left with none,Ishowed chris the blade earlier,but not the handles
 
i can on the blade not the wood of searched the world over for that wood bro
