  1. Hi good people,thought I'd share with yas my latest piece...I'm calling it "His" as I for the life of me can't come up with a more fitting name,this thing just oozes testosterone, it's so "manly" and distinguished lol ...as for it style, it's kind of hard to pigeonhole it, is it a fighter? a sticker? a big hunter? ...hard to put a sticker on it, but in my mind's eye I could see it hanging on a belt of some nobleman back in the day, going for a hunt...or into a war...or just walking around the castle, looking all cool and important

    ....anyway, here are the specs:
    O/A 308mm (12" +) ,blade 174mm (6 3/4") , it's a frame handle/full tang construction,shallow hollow grind with zero secondary bevel,slightly convex edge,it's pretty sharp and pointy (got the scars to prove it LOL)...Materials: 75CR1 tool steel,Bronze fittings and gorgeous Curly Koa(the pics don't do it justice, there is a party happening inside the wood and everyone is invited) ,copper retainer...as with all my knives,it's 100% handmade (handheld tools mainly, a lot of it unplugged) ,original one of a kind with no repeats,sole author yours truly

  5. PS: The last pic is included to show the fit of the scabbard,the knife will stay inside even upside down (and it's hefty) but comes out easily with just a gentle pull

Excellent! Very good flow. Fancy, but not garish. All the components work together harmoniously.
Very well done.:thumbsup:

Always a pleasure to see what you've been up to buddy....beautiful as usual with your superlative fit/finish/engraving/style, etc. :cool:

That shot outside really shows off that Koa and the great relief of your fine engraving. :)
