Wow! That is one really cool knife, very well done. I like everything about it and the "x" file work is very unique. Can I ask what you did to the pins to get that look?

Thanks Mark Lee
Here's one way to do it, not exactly how I did mine.

Thanks for the links. That is an interesting technique. I'll have to research that a little more. Once again, great knife!
