I think I outdid myself

Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith said:
As a "fighter" it won't last long in a fight. The finger choil is far too deep and would likely break in a real fight or hard use.

The handle looks half finished.

As said, the grind is more suited to a slicer than a fighter.

3 questions:

How many knife fights have you been in?

How many knives have you broken in a knife fight?

If that knife was like "the sword in the stone" embedded in a rock/ vice grip etc, do you think you could you break it with wrist/forearm strength?
 
1 question: why are you trying to pick a fight?
Stacy is giving his opinion like everybody else.
Given his experience and expertise in knife making, his is one of the ones that might bear listening to.

Unlike mine!

I'm done. I'm happy with the results.



 
I like it, great looking design as far as I am concerned. If I wanted a knife hundreds of others could have I wouldn't buy a custom.

BTW what are you planning to do for a sheath?
 
And it's been sold!
 
I like it!

Personally, I would have ground a longer edge on the top, maybe from about mid blade. Your grinds are straight, and the plunge looks real clean.

Anyway, damascus looks great, the handle is much improved, Bolts look real clean, and the mark is alot more subtle.

Good job man.
