Whoah, I LIKE that one Ray! It's got a hint of a few extra curves that really takes it up a notch.
The grind is also great, reminds me of a really nice tanto I saw in Japan many moons ago...

I really like that knife. Looks like a big cutter in a small package.

I really like the finish on the blade and the texture on the fittings. Great knife.
Love that one too Ray! Are those blades more or less diamond shaped in cross-section? With a thin spine? Or is that just a photographic illusion?
Regarless that is a very graceful blade shape. I love that slightest hit of upturn a great deal...not even sure it does upturn...but a great visual to that blade.

Quentin, Yes these blades do have a diamond shaped cross section but the grind I'm doing gives the illusion of an up swept blade but in reality the blade itself has a slight drop point to it. Here's a picture that shows the top of the knife.
Aaron, I did notice a little bit of an Asian look to this knife. Got some more new ideas to work on now.
Dave, I've got quite an affection towards ebony.
Still have a few more sticks of it left.
