This is the Den-b from Chris Christman. This particular one is made of 0-1. It is extremely ergonomic. I love the feel of the handle on this knife. It literally feels like an extension of your hand. This may be my first Christman knife, but it wont be my last.

Great looking knife, Dennis! Do I detect some filework along the top of the blade also? The knife looks like it would fit the hand well. I like it!!
 
Yes there is some filework on it. You can see it a little better in this picture

I need to take a better picture of the filework. Its just shy of 8 3/4" overall and the blade is about 4" and the handle is about 4 1/2". Its 1/8" stock and at its widest point the blade is just shy of 1 1/2". It has 7 stainless steel pins and stainless thong hole. A mosaic pin made
out of 1/4" aluminum tube, square brass tube, a round copper tube and a brass rod, white epoxy inside of the round aluminum tube, black epoxy inside of the square tube and regular epoxy inside of the copper tube. It is O-1 steel and the handles are stabilized quilted maple. I really like the looks of the handle material. Blue is my favorite color. I am going to see if Rob Simonich will use it on my custom talonite Carnivore.

Have not had a chance to handle any of his work (maybe that will change in the next three weeks), but I do know he is a fine person.

Hey y'all sure are making my head swell. My wife Marti says its already big enough. In all honesty, thanks for the kind words.
Maybe I ought to get Dennis to take more pictures of my knives. He sure knows how to make them look good. Thanks alot, Dennis.
Y'all take care.

The quality is top notch. I am very impressed. It has become the knife I compare all other fixed blades to.
