That's about as nice dyed giraffe bone as I have seen. Great looking knife. Once again I will say, you do fantastic work.

Great knife. If I may, you should not have the ricasso end so close to the bolster and have such a different flow - straight vs. curved. Either you should make the ricasso a bit longer to separate it visually, or you should carve it parallel to the bolster (or alternatively you can make the bolster straight too).

Of course, this is just my opinion.

.....Either you should make the ricasso a bit longer to separate it visually, or you should carve it parallel to the bolster....

...or both! Love the blade - gorgeous! :thumbup:
