I had planned on posting this in the general discussion area. It is a custom, but I thought I would get more results there. For some reason I cant pull up the general forum. Go figure!

It is made by Chris Christman of www.toptexknives.com Its just shy of 8 3/4"
overall and the blade
is about 4" and the handle is about 4 1/2".
Its 1/8" stock and at its widest point the blade
is just shy of 1 1/2". It has 7 stainless steel
pins and stainless thong hole. A mosaic pin made
out of 1/4" aluminum tube, square brass tube, a
round copper tube and a brass rod, white epoxy
inside of the round aluminum tube, black epoxy
inside of the square tube and regular epoxy inside
of the copper tube. It is O-1 steel and the
handles are stabilized quilted maple.

I like the handle design, very ergonomic. The temper line is a nice touch as well.

Chris makes a fine knife, you should be proud to own it.

I too praise the handle design does it feel good as 'weird' it looks?

I also posted this in the general discussion here: http://www.bladeforums.com/ubb/Forum32/HTML/003708.html

I had planned on putting it there in the first place because I thought I would get more responses.

The handle does feel as good as it looks. It seems to feel good to a variety of hand shapes and sizes. One of the first thing people I show it to comment about is how good it feels. Chris is a true artist. I definately recommend his knives.
