Nice clean, functional design with excellent execution. The size looks perfect and the wood on the handle looks great.
When I was doing woodworking a friend of mine who specialized in Shaker-style pieces told me that the simpler designs were the hardest to do because there wasn't any fancy stuff to keep people from noticing the mistakes. That's the way I feel about this kind of knife. I realize that the good makers consistently turn out darn near flawless knives, but this type of design puts 100% of the focus on the maker's skills whereas the beautiful, highly ornate knives that you know took a huge amount of skill to make give you more things to focus on. I like them all, but the simple, superbly executed knives are the ones that appeal to me the most.
