This is my Mofo #52
There are two parts of this knife that I have been particularly impressed with. The first is the E handle is the best I've ever felt. It just melts into your hand. The spine and the micarta are not only ground smoothly together but are also rounded in a way that no other E handles I have are. Also, this may be my imagination but it feels like the E handle on the MOFOs is ground to a narrower circumference at the index and little fingers. But this aspect is something you can only feel with the knife in your hand.

But this thread is really about the other point that I love about the MOFO and that is the beauty of the grind lines and those are visual. So I've attempted to take some pics that better portray the lines and the beauty of this big blade.

here's a pic that highlights the top grind that starts a little more than half way out the blade

again, notice that top edge, if I posted this pic alone most would think that was a sharpenned top edge, I think. It's not, but it's close. I'll show you what I mean next.

in this pic you can see that both sides of the top gring actually come together about an inch in front of the tip. It's not technically sharpenned but that's only 'cause no burr was raised, but it's pretty pointy :eek:

now that you've seen close-ups from above of that top grind line I'm just going to start moving down the end of the blade at different angles (up-close) so you can see the unbelievable lines that this blade has
 
Well, I hope I didn't over do it with the pics! But when you look at this last one, you can see how gorgeous the MOFO is, but at the same time, I hope these pics I just showed you will illustrate how much you are really missing when you look at, even a good pic, of a knife that is only laying flat :cool:
