Sent you a couple of emails, check them out and get back to me.
 
I like it. I can't wait to see what handles you've chosen and what the grinds look like.
 
YUM!!!
I like that a lot.
 
Beautiful!! There is also a fine jimping on the thumb ramp, and the spine is rounded.

Some special work coming on the scales as well. All you have to do is give John a couple of beers and start negotiating muhahahahahahaaaaaa!

Hand filed, I`ll try to get a pic, last one was blurry.
 
That came out perfect John!

For those watching - I asked John to round the spine and then cut the jimping, and I wanted a finer more closely spaced jimping similar to what you would see on a sebenza for instance. What I have done with the XT is tried to put all my favorite design queues from some of my favorite knives into one knife!

Well Done, John!!!! This will be a fitting brother to the DBH!

Looking great so far!
Excellent uniformity on those finger grooves.

Can't wait to see the finished product.
 
I`ll be heat treating Monday, so no updates this weekend. The handle material will be a "throwback" to my early days as a knifemaker.
 
I'll be working on my daughter in law's car all day today - maybe part of tomorrow too.

Have a good weekend John - and give all your girls a hug for me -
