440C, 8 3/4" blade, stabilized giraffe bone handle, 416 ss bolsters, balance is on front edge of bolsters. I call this one "The Attitude Adjuster"
 
I saw this picture on another thread. It is a really fine looking fighter. Love that beautifully done clip on the top of the blade.
 
:cool: Tom the lines flow with ease, shape, grind and contours. I bet it feels great in the hand also, and I love that handle material.

Thanks for the comments. When I ground that blade it was one of those really rare grinding days that happen every now and then, however you decide to grind just works out with no problem. They don't happen around my shop very often. I wish it had today. I've been fighting with a damascus bowie all day. I finally put it up. It wasn't even a draw. My left thumb nail isn't as thick as when I started, I'm cut in a couple of places and I think I've burned my fingerprints off both thumbs. It don't get much better than that. Now it's time to wrap my hands around a cold Corona, just to cool my thumbs off you understand.
 
Tom, very nice knife indeed!

BTW I noticed you use flat-bed scanner to take your pictures (I do the same). You might try to turn your blade the oposite direction (so the CCD element would move towards the main edge) to get different (maybe better) contrast. I have taken hundreds of pictures that way and know that a few degrees make a big difference.
