For Sale – “Kestrel”

Just finished this one up last evening! I named it “Kestrel” because if you’ve ever seen this small falcon dive for a mouse at super high speed, it’s sleek and finely tuned for the job.

The sheath in the picture is just for example - it does not fit this knife.

Nice one! I really like the 'twisted ribbon' filework:thumbup:
 
Thanks guys.

Peregrine...Hmmmmm, I am heading down to the shop this morning and I did just get in a shipment of steel. Hmmmmmm, thanks for the tip ;)

File work: Thanks - That one does take quite a while to do. I have to walk away several times or trying to get it perfect makes me crazy. Can you say OCD? :p
 
:thumbup: Thanks a bunch Jeff! :thumbup:

I'll get to work on the sheath in the morning. And I'll get down to the Post Office on Tuesday or Wednesday.
 
Wayne... received this today, and it's a beauty. You did a fine job on the sheath, as well. Of the six knives I've purchased from you, this is one of my favorites. Love the blue liners. Big thumbs up!
 
Jeff -

I am glad to hear that you're pleased with it. I had to throw in that little something special on the sheath since this is your sixth! ;) Has it been six already? Wow, how time flies. :D Thanks for the kind words.
