Good looking Hunter and sheath. Personally, I prefer a smaller less dramatic maker's mark on a knife this size.

Kevin,

Thanks for the comment on the mark size. I'd never really thought of it before, as I haven't had negative remarks from customers. But I can see how a small, distinct mark may work better.
