I just finished this one up yesterday. I think it is probably one of the best knives if not the best knife I have made to date. This is the first time I have made this design I drew up a few months ago. I'm very pleased with it, it feels great in the hand. First time I have done a swedge and first time using ironwood too.
This was a tough grind for me but for my first go at it and free hand I was pleased with the results, but dang it was nerve racking!!

.138 AEB-L stainless steel
Desert Ironwood Handle
Carbon fiber pins and lanyard tube
Cork Belt finish on the bevels

Thanks for looking

Beautiful work! Well done
 
Hey Justin. I think this IS your best knife to date. Nice pleasing flow overall, great lines with crisp grinds and the handle is nicely shaped and beautifully finished.

You are learning quickly and really coming along! Nice work.

Thank you John that means alot to me.
 
I haven't seen your work before ... but this is a great looking knife Justin. Looks like it would feel good in hand and be comfortable and highly functional! congrats on this one
 
Love everything about that knife! Look forward to seeing more of your work!

Any plans for a sheath?
 
I like it a lot.
Looks good and looks very comfortable to hold/handle.
A tapered tang would have elevated it even higher.
 
Looks great, Justin !
Gorgeous DI and I too think the cf pins and thong tube look sweet.
I also agree with Kevin, a tapered tang would only add to this classy piece.
Again, great work and a very nice sheath. :thumbup:

I don't want to get into trouble with the adminis since I don't have my makers membership yet but no it is not. It's sold.

Not surprised it's sold.
I don't make a habit of inquiring as to if a knife is available in this fashion, however I didn't find any other means of contact info for you.
