Awesome!
I picked up on Burt after finding his Popular Mechanics (?) article online...
Thought I'd give his knives a try, but patience is not my virtue so I pulled the trigger on a laminated large Dark Side that he had in stock.
Beautiful little necker...my only regret was not also buying his leather sheath!
Good score dude!

Wow, if that's what a user looks like from Burt, I can't imagine what the high end stuff constitutes....

Inspiring - indeed.
Is it a full tang or mortised handle?
Got a view from the top?

Thanks for the comments ! I'm sure Burt will appreciate that.
Burt's initial project was to parctice for the "Battle of Bladesmiths" : building a knife
with a hand hammer in 2 hours. In the end he has spend more than 2 hours on this knife but here is its story.
Burt, if you're around and if I made a mistake in how thi sone was born, please correct me.

Not sure how I missed this the first time through, but I love it, especially the proud, hammered copper pins. Copper and brass sure look great against dark, reddish figured wood. The as-forged flats just set-off everything else. A thorough winner.
