Very cool.

Awesome, if i had a double guard it would be an amwsome bowie as well.

Lucky me, good timing. Glad it ain't got no hamon

I love the purity/simplicity of a Loveless. This "big-azz" piece of Nick's had the same magnetic draw on me that a Loveless does, when I saw it in the Exchange. Now I'll get to see what all the fuss is about.

I'm shocked! You have an eclectic taste my man!

 

[stereo.pete]

Awesome!

 

[Bruce Bump]

And that was left handed too.
Nick what blade finish is that? I'm tired of hand sanding.

 

[NickWheeler]

Thanks guys.

Bruce- the blade was taken to a 300ish finish with a semi-worn Gator belt. It's actually "easier" for me to hand finish a blade and say when it's done.

I spend a lot of time struggling to get a machine finish that I'm happy with. If the blades were just flat ground it would be easy, but the slight convex geometry makes it a bugger for me.

A finely hand finished, mono steel blade is one of my personal favorites... but for some knives I think the machine finish helps to convey a "work-horse" feeling.

Or we can just blame it on Joe Paranee.

Here in Argentina, we would say "Groso"

[Leethal Cutlery]

Like I said Nick ....... I love it

There is artistry in both finishes

And you are an artist

But he time that is just as in to the performance as the look ......... And that's what I dig

 

[Mack]

What a great looking blade. Love the handle too.
The really nice thing is seeing it being used in the proper hand as apposed to the right one.

 

[rusty stove]

most impressive.

 

[SBranson]

Great knife Nick. The shot in the hand really shows how massive it is. Good stuff.

 

[GTH11]
