Now I know this knife dosent belong around all these beautuful knives I see posted in the customs but I am very proud how she turned out. Shes 1095 with a beautuful hamon, but I didnt etch it out, As I was about to put the ferric on her lightining hit my shop light and I left her alone. I have skinned 3 big rattlers with her and cut down half of the small trees here behind our house and shes still sharp, Blades 7 1/2 x 1 1/2 iches, worught iron guard with the guard hand filed, no mill yet,and tiger strip maple handle. I want to thank everyone who made this knife possible, I have read just about every single WIP thread and they have all helped me out alot, and espically my local makers. WIll, Matt, and mr Dark , thank you guys alot!!!

It's beautiful, and also, is not just a fighter, I think. More like a camp knife... :thumbup:
 
Great looking knife....really fine lines to it and all in the correct places. :cool:
 
I got a chance to meet jason knight, Adam derosiers, and Eric Fritz at blade and loved all thier work. The day I got home I set down and looked at every picture of thier work I could find and this kinda came out of that. They really inspired me to make this blade and I appreciate the kind comments again,Charlie
 
That's one good looking knife. I hope I can get that good some day. I can agree with KEN-BEN too, it looks like an awesome large utility knife.

I completely disagree with the sentiment that this statement suggests.
Personally, I am not here to marvel over the super high end stuff, merely to marvel at the tool as it comes from the hands of a man.

It is custom, it is handmade, and I'm glad you got over your self doubt in order to share images of it with the forum.

Really like the blade design and the downward curvature of the handle. Makes for a great fighter. Like to see one in a 9 1/4 inch blade/black micarta handle too.
