Good to see you're getting involved with bushcraft oriented knives. They're the best in my opinion. Nice job on this one.

Wow! Awesome work Bill, I cant wait to get it and test her out. You put everything I like in a knife in there with the round handles, ext tang, and thumb notching. Everything else just makes it look great. I appreciat your hard work and being open to trying new things. I know you worked your butt off to complete it. The WIP was very informative and showed what it involves to make a knife. I hope you like the new style so we can add you to the other fine Bushcraft makers on here.

Beautiful knife, Bill. If you need anyone to field test it and keep it, let me know. LOL

Damn that thing is purty. I'd be hesitant to use it too much. Another fine example of a functional yet attractive knife. Great job!
