Wow man! That is an awesome looking blade. I love all your work. I would personally like to see some more doubled ground blades, but thats just a personal thing. Excellent work.

Nice grinds Josh!

I got a double ground full height flat ground knife I'm finishing up now. Decided to go ahead and do something with the blade from the "Mustard patina" thread I had over in Tinkering and embellishment.

Thank you guys for your kind words. The grinds were more challenging, but this is one of the best knives I've made so far.

And this one is Sold!

Thanks for looking guys!
