Wow, that is beautiful. Great work there, I'd be proud to own one.
 
Oh man, a new model? I like it a lot. Yun, once again I am really impressed by your work. Always impressive.
 
Wow!!! I am definitely in for one of those. Talk about breathing new life into something. That is a beautiful knife.
 
I dig the yin & yang detail on the pivot, and the handle shape looks like it would melt right into the hand... :thumbup:

If I may offer an honest opinion, I find the prototype a little too 'busy' for my taste. There's a lot of awesome features going on, but perhaps they compete a little too much for attention. I'd like to see the handle smoothed out with fewer 'lumps and bumps' and maybe the carbon fibre substituted for ebony--but maybe that's just me. I sure hope my opinion doesn't offend in any way... :o

Good job! I look forward to seeing the production version! :cool:
