very nice looking piece David. I like the swedge too. And the pic is pretty good so whatever you are doing it is being done right.
 
just got this little ditty in on a trade... Dempsey Tuk Wharnny.
If you go to Dempsey's webpage and look at knife of the month , the D' TAC 2 with the DLC coating , that one belongs to my boss ( and good freind ) it looks even better in the hand than in the picts.

David does excellent work :D

Hey Mr. Voodo,

Glad she arrived safe and meets your expectations. Thank you for taking the time to share and for your generous comments:)

Great score John, thanks for sharing and the pic.

I also appreciate the kind words SkagsSig, Murray & Phillip.

I attached a pic of Voodoo's knife with it's fraternal twin just prior to shipment.

Thanks again,
