Man, I just tried to post a pic of a TOPS Tracker, in another thread, when it jumped out of the sheath.
It bit my foot and (R) middle finger on the way down. The hypertension, 0730 hours Jack & Zero, and Copenhagen may've contributed to the bloodletting...

*I recently lentAntDog a couple of knives. I think he can vouch for my limited sharpening skills.
Those things were sharp

I’ve made ulus. Ulus are great. They are satisfying to make. I’ve made them in 8670, AEB-L, and MagnaCut so far. Maybe 15N20 also? It’s been a while, and nothing set in stone yet, but I’ve been thinking more and more about making another run. My design would be a little different the next time around, but this was my first ulu, 8670 and Suretouch:
And in the quote below is another one, and a link to a cutting demo.

I contacted David Mary before posting his name, as I wanted to check with him. He is planning a run of Ulu’s but not sure when. You should consider contacting him as he is great to deal with and makes great knives.
*Edited to add David beat me to posting! Lol

I’ve been carrying and purchasing more fixed blades these days. This particular one with a mod and wrap is taking up space on my belt recently.

That is really nice looking.
Beautiful.....
Thank you. This artistic Damascus is called "Dancing Men". The author is blacksmith Matveev. But the knife is not only beautiful, but also fully functional. The frame, covered with blue patina around the pattern, is forged from steel ШХ-15 (52100). Hardness 60-61 hrc.That is really nice looking.
