Yah, I agree...that blade shape is very appealing. I don't like the ricasso (is my terminology correct?) so much though. It kind of ruins the flow from blade to handle for me. Everything else looks awesome though.

Thanks for all the compliments and feedback. We found that people either like or dislike that specific handle detail. We also make them this way. Here is a pic of one We made without that detail. sorry for the crappy phone pic of this one.

Yeah that's the first thing that came to my mind: "sweet detaill at the ricasso"
Nice work

another beauty of a knife and sheath Dan.. nice work...:thumbup::thumbup:

Thank you all for the kind compliments, any thoughts on the frog (correct term?) for the sheath? I wanted to have versatile methods of carrying that knife. I can wear it high on my belt with the belt clip, low on my side with the frog. and I've almost finished the rig to wear it horizontal on my belt, small of the back. as well as a molle attachment to wear the knife on tactical gear.

The pocket clip i used on the sheath has a tab bent back up towards the belt so it is unable to come off without pulling the bottom of the clip away from the sheath. Keeping it securely attached either on the belt or the frog.

thoughts, comments?
