It's well moulded, retains the lil' devil pretty good....

About a 3½" blade, just a little under 8" overall, guardless, with a pronounced thumb choil on the spine
with CM's "For The Win"
(hey, we're in General....);) etched at the ricasso....

Chisel ground, exhibiting a good edge, the 1084 steel has been subdued via "cold-blue", I assume....

With a pronounced curve, the grip fills the hand well and feels secure without being overly large....

Overall, the finish is very good, with the feeling that one has a "handmade" knife.

You keep grinding away brother, your blades are showing good potential.

Thanks again for the cool GAW, and congrats for getting published, hope it leads to bigger things for you....
