that is simply great

It's a real chopper ! Weighs 1 lb and the balance point is 1" forward of the guard. Excellent workmanship ! I'll see now how CPM 3V performs. Thanks Shawn .

Very nice. That thing was built to work, you can tell. Excellent lines.

That is VERY nice!! That grind is pretty sweet!

Test day ! Yes it looks nice and is very practical with excellent weight and balance.Hacking away at saplings and things was a pleasure .Now if I could find something big to take apart - bison, elephant ,etc !!

Very nice design. How did you like grinding that big slab of 3V? I have a bar but haven't touched it yet... I'm thinking I will want some nice ceramic belts or something.

Annealed it was no problem.

Definately need the ceramics though, and the norton Norax's for the finer grits.

I'm not one to throw around the term beautiful, but it certainly fits in this instance. :thumbup:

Great looking knife. I would be proud to own that one, let alone say I made it.
