The words are......the heat whoops my ass. It's like dancing "cheek to cheek" with Mother Nature.
 
With a good bit of help from Adam at Valkyrie knives today it's making progress
Thanks Adam
 
Phillip .. I sure hope you made more than one!
 
Can someone give me their opinion on whether the tapered handle or regular tang handle feels better than the other?

That's a personal preference in my opinion. Steel thickness can range from 3/32" to 3/16" .. and because each one is hand made (shaped by Andy), there can be variances in the handle scale thickness and shape. The true essence of hand made knives.

Thanks. That makes sense. I have never owned a tapered tang knife so I was just curious.
