Very nice Bill, that one really grabs me. Love the long clip and hamon together. A very lucky owner. See you at Blade.

Very elegant Bill.. Bravo. I really like how the lower tine of the guard gets thicker at the tip. Very nice symmetry with the upper one. Nice blade profile and love the long clip...

Man that's nice!
 
Fantastic Bill!!! One of these days I'm going to get one of your larger blades to compliment the 2 'smaller' ones I have of yours.
 
Bill, great lookin' fighter crisp, clean lines. I like it. I just finished an african blackwood handle fighter and the wood is grainy, yours is smooth. Did you use some type of sealer?
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Brion- I can't wait, really looking forward to seeing everyone at Blade again this year.

Redsnake- just say the word and we'll get you one started. ;)

Mike Q- Its just the nature of the wood, some blocks have more open grain, not much you can do about that. What I did was sand to 2000 grit, buffed then applied 4 coats of clear johnson paste floor wax.

Awesome knife Bill. I like the inlay in the handle as it makes the guard and spacer stand out more.

I like that insert too. Your damascus really gave the knife a nice look Bill. Well done..:thumbup: Best, Rich
 
Now that's a piece I'd be honored to own! :eek: :D
Nice lines, blade shape and use of Damascus! :thumbup:

And while I'm not the "Joe" you were refering to, I hope to make it on Saturday afternoon and I'd love to stop at your table?!?!

Have a good show!
