Thanks for looking!
 
Oh, man!!!! You are just now doing your first show? That means I have to put off doing one for at least another year...lol. Nice work as usual:thumbup:
 
Phil that thing is pretty darn awesome! Looks real comfortable in the hand!

Your first knife show? That kind of surprises me. Which show will you be attending? -Matt-
 
I want one of these in W2 and burgundy micarta, please. :thumbup:

This knife rocks!
 
That's a great looking knife! I'm surprised as long as you have been making knives that this is your first one. Were you surprised at how easy that straight edge was to grind?
 
Phillip, that's one of the nicest wharncliff blades I've ever seen. I love the way you did the choil and ricasso area. Great job!

I don't find straight edges easy to grind. I'd much rather grind an edge with a belly to it.

Hi Kerry,
Actually, I had kind of a hard time with the straight edge, probably because I'm not used to it.

Thanks, Ray! I agree, knives with bellies are easier to grind, at least flat grinding. I'd like to try hollow grinding this design. I'll bet that would be a piece of cake.

Thanks, Larry. I'm looking forward to it also. I appreciate the invitation!
 
Wharnies are by far my favorite blade shape, and that's an EXCELLENT example!

How much would something like that go for?
