Well, Ken, I don't know how much my opinion is worth but I like the looks of the knife very much. I really like that shade of green and the ____ (tone?) of the bolsters and the blade match. I much prefer the satin finish and I don't like it when the bolsters appear mirrored or chromed when the blade isn't.

Part of me kept saying for a single blade folder I might want the blade a little longer but then another part of me said - with a single blade it might not be too big to put in your slacks or jeans on Sunday and the smooth lines wouldn't wear out your pocket lining.

If its not too impolite to ask - how much would one of these cost? Also, how thick is the knife? (Is it slightly less than 1/2"? I'm not sure I added everything up correctly.)
 
Very nice work there Ken. I love the shape of the blade. Seeing this makes me want to go and try to make one. Keep up that great work!
