Ok, I don't actually have a press yet. Anyway:

Just finished this one an hour ago.

Steel: L6

Guard: 416 stainless

You are doing very clean work. This, and the damascus piece you posted several weeks ago are both very impressive. :thumbup:
 
Gotta go with the flow - nice bowie! Like the overall flow and that's a very nice piece of Ironwood! :thumbup:
 
Man....you are one of my favorite makers on this board. I look forward to seeing every one of your knives. This one is just great too!

You're an inspiration to the young guys like me.
 
Thank you everyone for the nice comments. :)

Thanks for your support, and I'm honored if you're inspired. :) It's taken me 24 years to get where I am.

I'm really starting to feel my age. :D
 
Thanks for the encouraging comments, everyone. :)

I thought I'd share some photos of the now-finished sheath. It's the first one I've done with a basket-weave pattern:
