Jay - i love seeing all these threads of yours lately! not only do i get to see pics of absolutely stunning knives - but also get the warm and fuzzy feeling of knowing my knife is slowly moving up the list!

ps - very nice work on this one! top notch all the way around - (blade profile, file work, choice of handle material, mirror finish and topped off with a perfectly matched sheath...) you have me already thinking of my next one!

Hey, Adam. I didn't get this subscribe... I guess BF had some problems.

Milled your fingerholes and tang a couple days ago. Going to be a complex piece; just the way I like it!

Thanks,
Jay
