Just curious but is your mark on this one? It doesn't seem to be visible in the pics.
 
Don't need it, probably won't use it much and it will most likely end up going in the 'pile', but the lines on this are...well dang near 'artistic'. And so there, that's the justification I need.:) I'll take it and will Paypal now. Thanks Mr. Drew.

THANK YOU Monkeybutt. I got your PayPal and your knife will go out Monday morning.

I really like your "Dang Near Artistic" description of my knives. Can I use that one?
 
That is a beauty of a knife!

I liked the lines on this one too although I'd like to see a more perpendicular side shot that showed the slope fore and aft better.

Great looking wood too. I'd never heard of a Hawthorn tree/bush before you listed this knife. It has a nice figure to it and from what I read about it it should be a pretty hard wood too.

Great job Mr. Drew!

Oh heck yeah. I actually think it is 'truly artistic', but thought that alone would lend a pansy air to it that would belie the 5160 forged 1/4" tough mutha working knife that it was made to be...aside from being purdy.

I do think that that my comment in my PP to you is more descriptive of your stuff so I'll say it again, "it is an 'honest' knife, that being a piece that is tough, purposeful, but with a simple elegance." Damn I love paraphrasing myself.:) Thanks for that and the knife GL. Cheers, John
 
All I can say is I'm glad you took it! I've wanted one of Mr. Drew's knives for quite a while, I was trying to figure out how to tell the wife that I shot the "going out" budget this month on more knife related stuff - what can I say, she's my economic censor and I love her for it.

Very nice Mr. Drew, one of these days I'll catch one!

Just so you don't call my knives "cute". My wife does that sometimes.
