Comments welcomed and have a great day,

That's a very clean-looking piece with nice lines. Sheath looks really good, too.

Again a really clean knife. I particularly like that shot of the swedge grind. Your plunge grinds blend beautifully into the spine.
 
Fantastic looking knife and sheath. This one might be the first fighter you have done, but I guess you will be making many more!!
 
ooooooo, Pretty!

Sure is easy on the eyes! I would almost be honored to be beaten in a knife fight by that one!

That is one nice fighter with a beautiful walnut handle. The sheath is really well done also i noticed. You sir are quite skilled at the art of knife and sheath making. Congratulations,:thumbup:
 
Hi James,

Well THIS is how you make a big splash in a big community. First posts like this are eye-opening, indeed.

What good lines. Crisp detail.

Good stuff. Real name usage, quality work, clear photos. Earns my attention. :thumbup:

Seriously nice Fighter package, James ! :thumbup:
For a first fighter....Great work !

Thank you everyone! I am sitting here blushing with all the comments made. I guess I will have to build another one using the same pattern. I am thinking about a 1084 blade with a quench line, maybe try a frame handle with some file worked liners.

Thank you all again,

James
