In my opinion this is by far the most impresive knife I have made to date. Certainly the most technically challenging.

Thanks for looking

Very impressive knife, you did a great job on it.:thumbup::cool:

I think one with the blade continuing down on the same profile of the handle would look good also.
 
Mark,
BEAUTIFUL FOLDER.
WONDERFUL ARTISTRY and GREAT CRAFTSMANSHIP.
VERY, VERY NICE FINE DETAIL right down to the textured stainless liners and 14 K red gold blade pull.

Probably one of the most impressive folding blades I've ever come across on this site, just exquisite. If it were in my price range I'd buy it in a second.

Is your handle work inspired by traditional Japanese kozukas? That was the first thing this piece reminded me of.
 
Exquisite! Worthy of your maker's mark. Is it hidden on there somewhere?
What a beauty...
 
Amazing....someone will score a wonderful piece! Glad to see something unique and not related to skulls!!
