If I had not just bought a handmade last week I would be all over these. You are a very talented forger. I am really in to the grind on both of your knives I have seen. I will be in touch with you as soon as I have saved up again.:thumbup:
 
I love the blade shape. Looks like a great camp knife and wicked slicer!! :thumbup: Thats also a lovely piece of wood you picked for the handle. Is it round or oval? The sheath is pretty cool too, has a classic look to it which I like.... BTW The more I look at the package, the more I like it. To bad I'm flat out broke. :(

I'd like to see a cross-section to get a better idea of the handle shape. I really like your choice of materials, and the way you coordinate them. I think I like this blade-to-handle ratio better. It's a little hard to judge the angle at which you took the picture. Foreshortening might affect the perception of proportion.

Nice work.
 
If you click on the picture it will take you to a gallery of pics.
The only other thing I can say is that the handle is not round, more like a tapered oval. If you want to see a direct face on pic or a direct end view just let me know.

I checked out the gallery of pics. The multiple angles really help me get a sense of the proportions of the piece.

I've never seen a retention strap like that. It's a nice way to add retention without hiding any of that nice work you've done on the handle. I'd like to handle one and see firsthand how well it works.
