Sweet!!!
That must have been fun to grind even.

 

[Ed Meinel]

Beautiful! The handle material is a nice contrast to the minimalist blade design.

That's a really nice piece, Butch! I bet that would be a joy for making "see-through" veggie slices.

The composited handle is very classy. Nice mill work and fitting.

Nice work there, Butch.

 

[Dan Pierson]

Beautiful. That had to be hard to grind.

time time time thats all

Damn that's sweet! Hopefully in about 50 years from now I might be able to grind that. NOT!

I'll second that on the handle....never seen anything like that. The wood and the micarta are gorgeous together. Looks very classy and sophisticated.

[Bruce Bump]

That looks like a difficult knife to make. Congrats!
