**About this knife:**

This one has a bit more character than my usual builds.

The amboyna burl has great natural figure, paired with a brass guard and a copper habaki that gives it a slightly classic look.

Feels solid in hand with a comfortable grip and a clean, balanced profile.

Built for real use, not just display.

Very nice!!

Don't forget to post your work on the custom knife maker sub forum without the pricing. I'm sure you will get more attention that way;)


Thanks a lot, really appreciate it! 🙏
Glad you like it. That’s actually a really good suggestion — I hadn’t thought much about posting there without the pricing, but it makes sense. I’ll give it a try soon and see how people respond.

Hopefully it can reach a wider audience and get some more feedback too. Thanks again for the tip, really helpful 👍

Post above this.one....😜 sorry!!
 
OUTSTANDING blade work, Sir. I may appear to be a : tree hugger" with this comment, but the esthetics of this knife speaks to me immediately.

Thank you! I take that as a compliment 😁😁 I’m glad the aesthetics speak to you 👍
 
At the risk of being cliché, I'm pretty sure the only way to get good at making horizontally positioned sheaths, is to make a bunch. Once you're in the groove, it's just a matter of time until you'll be able to say, "Yup, I DO make them, and how many do you want?😏

Still figuring them out and refining the design, but I could definitely make one if there’s a request.
