Looks good Joe! I wish the picture was more clear though.

Joe, I thought you just destroyed steel by hitting it with a hammer? You did a great job on that one.

I would think that would be pretty easy thing to learn. I bet I could do it first try.

This particular one has gotten me twice....once in the webbing between my left thumb and forefinger and once on my right index finger This thing is cursed like the Hope diamond. I hate to think what it is going to do to the guy who draws my name in the KITH

I like the handle design, the half guard and blade shape very much, I could own one of those easily myself.

Looks like a very usable knife :thumbup:

This is the pattern I have pretty much settled on for hunters. This one turned out a bit better, but miles to go The blade shape is kind of a modified Fisk pattern with a bit of drop and a slanted choil instead of the "butterfly". The handle is more like a smaller version of what the Arkansas guys would put on a bowie or fighter. As far as owning one, give me a couple of more tries and we'll talk.....lol
