Impressive Fighter.
The spine flow to the nice pointy tip nods at Persian and the fuller is a great touch.
Best of all, it's wootz.
How do you like working with wootz ?

Cool vid - that looks like some real hard wood you were chopping. Do you have a photo of that knife - or is it the one you posted in the camp knife thread?
 
Thank you, Jean-Louis.
I've watched another couple of your vids and am very impressed.
Great work and thanks.

Jean Louis, I will say this, you are not afraid of a little hard work. :)

Again, the little touches, while extremely laborious at times, really lift the knife's worth in my opinion. I love it.
 
Thank you, thank you Lin, your words make me happy! :-)
Here, the knife in the video.
