That is a very slick looking knife. Nice!!

Thanks, she is a pretty one. I just honed the edge last night and she will make a really nice cutting blade.

I can knock that choil off if anybody is afraid of sticking themselves. I like the looks of it, but I can see it causing some problems.

what if instead of removing the choil you just enlarged the choil indent into the handle slightly so as to be able to have a finger groove? that way the choil could sort of wrap around the users finger, and remain intact as it does give the knife a unique look.

That is a GREAT looking knife.......only wish I had the $$$'s to own said piece.

It would have to be a slicin', dicin' muther with that 1/16" blade-stock!!!

SOLD!!

Thanks Dawkind

I will also take orders on this (with or without the choil) if anyone else is interested.

Thanks again-

I have been using some 15n20 for grinder practice , and that stuff can be made wicked sharp. Nice design , simple and clean. Well done !

I just wanted to say that I love the look of this knife. It really clicks for me.

I think it would awesome as a smaller blade as well, maybe a 2.5 or 3 inch blade with a 3.5 or so inch handle?

And I agree that enlarging the choil a bit and maybe taking it further into the blade and rounding off that little pointy piece, not taking it away, just rounding it off some, would be very nice.
