This blade has been in my shop for over a year... finally got inspired to finish it off. This is a light fast knife.

Thanks
Rick

Very nice, Rick. I think this might be my favorite of yours so far.

Very cool!!! How do you do the distressing on the handle slabs? Or is that a natural occurance you've used to your advantage?
