Very sweet & unique! If your Alabama Hottie isn't overwhelmed by your craftsmanship - she just doesn't appreciate the finer things in life! Don't forget to show us the sheath when it's done - always like to see the complete package. Hey! How about posting a pix of your Alabama Hottie holding the Laredo 7mm Amboyna Burl Special!

UNBELIEVABLE!!! I love it!! my jaw just dropped when I seen it! you`ve got a winner there! I`m sure your little hottie will love it!
looks to be a sharp finger design...I`d much rather sport your sharp finger than the other!!

LOL at Clydetz! I will see what I can do. I will have to get her permission, but she will probably be game. If not you all will have to make it to the Blade Show next month in Atlanta. She will be with me there.

Hopefully I will get that sheath done on Wednesday/Thursday. I thought I had more leather left than I did, go figure, it is a holiday today, so I mowed the lawn instead.

Anyway, I will post more later.

Thanks for your replies.

Wow, great looking fighter! Wicked blade shape in combination with a beautiful damask pattern.

I think speechless is the right word. Wow, that pure nickel makes for a very dramatic pattern. The bevels look great as does the overall look. Very impressive.
