Nice lines, good looking and I like the checkering!

That's a very nice knife. That handle took some real skill to checker so nicely. Well done!

Thats very cool I really like the ball S guard did you make a die to make the balls or did you weld on balls

Interesting! Would love to see some closeup shots of the handle and fittings especially.
