All,

Thanks for the positive comments!

I've been making knives for about 7- 8 years as a hobby, but am not a very prolific maker due to other jobs and responsibilities. As such, this is approximately only about the 32nd knife that I've made. Yet with each one, I feel I'm getting a lot better. I put a lot of time into each one.

Thanks again,
