Need some good ol' honest feedback on this one. It's only about 95% finished. I still need to mark it, sharpen it, and treat the handle (waiting on some new epoxy system though.) This was another of those "tried to get it done before blade" knives but I was able to finish it up last night. It's got a 7-inch blade of 1/4-inch W-2 and is almost 13 inches overall. The underlay is woodland, but I'm thinking about tearing it down and using the new Marine Corps pattern as it's more refined and a closer pattern (plus, I just like the looks of it. :D ) So anyway, let's hear some opinions.

BTW -- the sheath is from Blackhawk.

Thanks for looking --

That is beuatiful. I would be honored to have that on me in any SHTF situation. Some day real soon, I hope to be calling you to order one.

That thing looks awesome. I love the blade shape, the handle design and the camo underneath. I think you have a winner.
 
My honest opinion is that that is the most aesthetically pleasing knife that I have seen in months. Absolutely wonderful.
 
Beautiful blade! I like the lines of it. Though I agree with you, I think a closer camo pattern might be better. Very innovative design.
 
I've never really been a collector of this theme of knife.

However, this knife here could cause me to change my mind.

Real nice!
 
Michael,
Wish you would have had this in Atlanta, I would like to feal it and look more closely at it. Very nice looking piece.

It's nice, and I really like almost everything about it,
but (my opinion only) it looks to me like there are too many colors on the handle. the Brown/tan/green colors underneath the wrap look awkward.
 
The MARPAT would be better IMO. I've got some buddies still in and have seen the material up close, it would show through your wrap better I believe.

Great looking Hamon.
 
I like the blade-geometry, but I think this knife needs a better guard. (Maybe, because I cut my forefinger today, testing a DR Arclite ;) )

It is a great looking blade. On a personal level, I would prefer it with a micarta handle. :)
