That's a good looking knife!!!!
You should buy a makers membership and sell it. That's all the critique I could come up with.

Nice! I love you clean level of fit and finish! thing I thought was "hummm....looks like it needs a clip...maybe....maybe not....ya' that's a awesome knife...." :thumbup:

Very nice. is that hamon a "ghost" or the infamous "unintentional" hamon?

 

[i4Marc]

I planned the hamon and did the clay thing. I suck at developing them though. I usually sand it out afterwards. It leaves a ghost hamon.

I like it. Great lines and looks very functional. I like the hamon, subtle and unique.

If you need or want a sale then go with the gut hook. That design would certainly be suited to one.
