Hi Joe. I am thankful to have been able to shoot this one. I appreciate your sending it to me.
My photo is clear, but the angle I had to present it betrays one of the most apparent attributes when you have it in hand:
The handle has a 'crook' in it which is unlike Don's normal flow pattern. But, that said, it offers a grip that conforms to your hand like no other, and that gnarly stag is grippy. Another perfect example of how even a good photograph cannot replace the 'feel' of holding it in your hand. Plus that long, light, fast, slender blade is out there.
I wanted to toss a piece of paper in the air and slice into four perfect squares before it hit the ground.
Well, maybe someone more talented than me, but that's the idea. 
Paul's sheaths are the crowning touch. In this one instead of covering it up (which is a good shot, but has it's drawbacks), I chose to SHOW it almost fully. Let the cream rise to the top.
Thanks.
