i finally got to drive down to P.O. and pick up this knife today.
i am so pleased i spoke for this one ! the pics don't fully show what a beauty this is, so fine i think i am going to have difficulty bringing myself to use it.
it fits my hand like tailor made and with good balance, and the soft, smooth feel of the birch bark handle is amazing. just hold it once and i bet it becomes your new favorite handle material.
i could go on about the neat reindeer antler butt and guard, the blade grind, super fine sheath, etc., but i'll just say this is my second knife from Mike and he really knows how to put it all together and make a great knife. minor league prices, major league knife. oh, and sharp too. based on my experience with my first knife from Mike, i just tried to shave my face with this blade. it worked and i didn't cut myself. never tried that before, but i really trust Mike's edges.
i have about 15 custom FBs. this one just became one of the top few exceptional ones. i won big time. Thank You Mike.
