Thanks for looking!
 
Great knife,pattern,sheath the only thing I would change is the retention strap, for some reason it just doesn't look right to me.

Amazing work (not that you need me to tell you that!) - thank you for posting it up! :thumbup:
 
Utterly striking! :thumbup:
This really is nice, Phillip.
Will you be posting it in the Customs forum ?

That is just too damn pretty to get blood all over it . As always Phillip , beautiful work .
 
That is fantastic. I love everything about it, except the serrations. BUT, I CAN see the use of them for a soldier.
 
I'm sure it will serve him well and be the envy all of his mates. Beautiful and practical. Doomed to get a bit beat up though...
 
As a soldier, I can honestly say, "That's a blade I'd be damn proud to carry". Great job!

I was thinking, considering it's intended purpose, something that you can snap open with your thumb as you're grabbing it. Allowing for it to be drawn very quickly.

Either way though that is one seriously sexy looking knife. Amazing work :thumbup:
 
That's a beautiful pattern. Very nice details, too. Nice job on those serrations - they look great.
 
Thanks for the comments, everyone!

As for the retaining strap, I did it this way, because, there's no snaps to break or wear out, and i didn't have any snaps anyway. ;)

In fact, the blade is tight enough in the sheath that the strap isn't needed at all, so if the customer wants, he can take it off.
