Maciek Torbe' Checkmate II

[Stump Buster]

I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to pick up some really cool pieces from some fantastic makers here on the forum and around the world. In August of last year, I was lucky enough to land a spot on Maciek Torbe's list for his next batch of Checkmate II's. After some messages back and forth, the details were locked in and the waiting game began. One of the special requests I made was for a slightly longer handle to accommodate my wide palms. Well the wait ended today and I can't say enough about the packaging and the product! It was well worth the wait to get my hands on one on Maciek's Blades!!!

The unboxing...

Lighting in the middle of the day is terrible for pictures, but I did what I could in the short time I had...

Handle length is PERFECT!!! You nailed it Mr. Torbe'!!!

Maciek also included a lanyard and bronze bead that very closely matches the bronze bead and whistle he made me last year...

And one more professional pic from the man himself when he informed me the knife was ready to ship...

THANK YOU MACEIK!!! I'M VERY HAPPY to have one of your fantastic creations in my collection!!! I am truly blessed!!!
