Hey Guys, finally had an opportunity to upgrade to the proper account so that i can post here in BF. This resource has been massively helpful to me as a maker over the past two years and I'm thrilled to finally be apart of it!

So here is the newest knife to come out of my shop. Had it sitting on the bench for a couple months untouched and decided to finish polishing the Hamon and give it a handle.
this is a very new handle shape for me and initially I had no idea how to shape it! So i decided to just go with the flow and this is where we ended up.
First time playing with facets in handles, and it's quite comfortable in hand if i do say so myself.
Sheath is also done by me and features my first quilted tooling pattern.
As always, comments and critiques are welcomed! :D

Bout time! :p I'll say it again, I love the overall profile of this one. Of course the facets along with that beautiful ironwood make for a very nice and classy looking handle. Beautiful job on the sheath as well! Great work as always brother! :)

Very nice looking package! I really like the shape of the handle. And who doesn't like ironwood? Sheath looks well done also. Great job!
 
Another beautiful combo, Excellent job. I really like the whole package, Everything complements each other.
 
Welcome to the jungle, baby. Looks like you brought the right knife.
 
Meh.......it's OK I guess, if you happen to like beautiful wood, flowing lines, well defined handle contours, and great leatherwork.:rolleyes::D

Great work, LongDog......I really like your logo too:thumbup:

Man you're doing some really nice work Mark. That faceted handle came out great! Can't wait to see what's next.
 
That's real purdy. Beautiful lines. A lot of character in that piece. Lovely sheath as well.
 
I do like that package

The handle is outstanding and the blade profile is very interesting!

That is a fantastic knife!! WOW!! I LOVE it; there are no words to describe HOW much I LOVE it!! :D It looks soooooo amazing! The knife and sheath are both great. That is my favorite fixed blade of everything I have seen lately!! :D
 
Amazing effort all around! Blade, handle, quilting on the sheath is wonderful!
 
Beautiful! That is a really sweet knife!

Nice lines to the entire creation & I love how you created the planes on the handle too.
