"Spearpoint" has a certain presence too, man... 
That is one beautiful knife, with the prettiest piece of maple burl I've ever seen. I think that looks like blue (?) rayskin, and the surprizing blue liners really set it off. Not to mention the crispy grind and extra super-dooper finish. I guess I just haven't applied the patience, I use the same stuff for finishing as you, and mine look like bark compared to that.
Did you taper the tang?
Tracy, this is awesome. Now I'd like to see the "Modified Wharncliffe" for real.
You da man.
