I really like the looks of your knife; fat, flat guard with satiny finish, forged texture on the flats, nice little swedge and such an inviting handle. Really like the hand stitched sheath.
The only 'improvement' that I can see is a rounded or crowned spine. That would add another layer of awesomeness to an already awesome looking knife.

Thanks Lorien, I really appreciate the comment.

That's not a bad idea for the spine; I may give it a try on the next one, thanks.

love the way the grain in the cocobolo flows with the contour

Looks great
 
I got to handle this knife today. All I can say is if you don't own an AA Forge you need to order one today! This knife rivals any Randall I've owned or seen. Adam keep up the great work!
