That's a nice looking knife & sheath & very reasonably priced. :thumbup:
Great job also on the pics showing the knife at different positions, especially grip thickness. :thumbup: That's something I find lacking with a lot of makers here & as a buyer, makes it difficult to decide based on 1 or 2 pics.
Good job!
 
That is a nice knife.
You are right about grip thickness. It is a critical thing to me and it's hard to know without actually holding the piece. I have a drawer full of nice knives that "just dont' feel right" but would be wonderful in someone elses hand. It is related to balance too. If it's balanced the grip isn't as critical.
I digress. Sorry!
 
that's a good looking knife. your grinds are improving with every knife. nice price on this one as well.
 
Thanks for the compliments, I appreciate them. Do you think people prefer slender handles on their knives. Balance point on this knife is right where the bolsters and wood join.

Personally, I prefer a handle about the thickness of this one or even a bit thicker. I definitely prefer that over slender handles.
But it is a personal preference, so I can't speak for others.
Without getting a chance to have a knife in hand prior to purchasing, it does help a lot to see the grip & blade (as in a spine shot from the top) at different angles to get a good idea of thickness.
 
My personal preference is for slim handles on knives that I'll be using for delicate tasks or just very precise cutting, as this allows my fingers to control them more easily. On general utility and heavier knives, I prefer a thicker handle that spreads the work load of holding on to the knife into the rest of my hand to reduce fatigue.

The lines and overall dimensions of this knife seem to be well balanced from what I can see.

Nice deal here :thumbup:
 
Thanks t1mpani, I appreciate your input, your explanation pretty much sums up how I decide to shape a handle when designing the knife I want to make.
 
Excellent....

I sent you an email - let me know where to send payment if you would, and it will be on the way.
