That thing is beautiful. Simply lovely scales, and what a nice configuration. Nice execution!

Nice knife. I always like the shape of your clip point blades.

 

[FOG2]

AWESOME !!! I love that blade combo too

 

[Bastid]

Sure is beautiful and the swedges look so sharply and precisely ground into the knife it seems they could cut too .

Someone is going to be very pleased with that stunner.

I would like to see a pic of the scales in six or eight months. The ivory should begin to take on that warm tone. :thumbup:

Great looking knife, Ken !

That is about an optimum knife for me. Very - very nice looking knife you made! I have an inexpensive Case knife that is similar in style and I carry it all the time. Very handy blade shapes. Thank you for the post.
