The blade steel is CTS40CP but on the picture says it is ATS34 and that is wrong.
Thanks for looking and all comments welcome.

Beautiful as usual Art! That "V" file work on the butt of the tang is a nice touch, really breaks up the stoutness an untapered full tang can have sometimes.

I'm gonna have to place an order with you soon!

Come on 229 people looked at this knife and said nothing , I said all comments welcome. and you makers here on BladeForum never had a problem chopping on someone work.
I think my over knife is ok but the copper is a miss , and it is the second time I'v put a handle on this knife with copper spacers. I have flat sanded the tang and all the copper pieces to have flat square edges. And that didn't work.
This is the only reason I would post a picture of a knife that I didn't like , is for your comments.
Thanks again for your comments.
 
Looks fantastic to me. The copper on the spine can be forgiven. The lines on that blade suit me to a "T". :)
 
Very nice knife . I don't understand why you say the copper liner is not good. I would be proud to own that.
 
Not sure I agree with you saying the copper is a miss. The pictures look good, but having it in your hand may give a different view. I really like the file work. I'm a wood person, so the handle really catches my eye. Pretty hard to pick this one apart.
 
Art, as I have said before, I am a huge fan of your style. I did notice that small gap in the copper liners on the right side, but that is a difficult transition and I would overlook it. So if your unhappy with it just send it to me and I'll make sure you never hav to see it again! :D

I like the profile of the knife. I had the same trouble the first and only time I tried to use copper sheet.

I like the lanyard slot and file detail on the butt but not the file work on the spine.
 
David,
I think this is my one and only time with sheet copper.

PS: Thanks all for the comments
 
Art great knife per your usual. I agree about the copper is a pain. It will patina an give not so nice a contrast, in my opinion.
