Not a whole lot to critique from this viewpoint. Looks great. :thumbup:

I like the shape of the handle and the accent pieces in it. Nice job.
 
Went through the asparagus quite easily Mike...lol....I've been making a lot of Dark Themed knives as of late.

Thanks Guys
 
I haven't weighed it just yet....willput her on the scale when I get her back from my father-in-law. I chopped through some 2x4's with her and cut some rope too...the edge is sharp!

Bobby,

IF you get her back from your father-in-law ... I can assure you that I were in his shoes you'd have a hard time getting it back! Great looking knife, Sir. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Now this is weird! I looked at this thread earlier today because I was going to post a reply and the thread was locked!!!!!!!!!:confused::confused: I couldn't figure out why it was locked!

Anyway that blade is AWSOME!:thumbup::thumbup:
 
If the blade was a "sticky bun" I might worry about him eating it, he loves his sweets! He's pretty good though, about getting metal back to me...not enough sugar in the mix! ha ha
 
Thanks Ray....I've got a long way to go before I can fashion a blade as beautiful as one of yours.
