Really like that one! Not a gut hook fan, but you managed to make it all flow.

Man there is a lot going on, and it all goes together, I love it.

Beautiful file work, looks like engraving, design execution, material choice, I could go on and on.

The last picture made me think Rhino.

Gorgeus knife, absolutely love it. How did you attach the bolsters? I dont see any pins. Are they simply soldered on?
