Nice-I like the slim, compact lines. Looks like it's everything you need to get the job done, with no excess to get in the way:thumbup:

 

[raylaconico]

That is awsome. I really like your work. So much character! Looks great!:thumbup:

 

[Marion David Poff]

Beautiful Work.

And I think you successfully took the 'lore style and mixed it with your own centrist, understated, and precise yet weathered style.

Again, beautiful.

Very nice work.. I really like the look you are giving your work. :thumbup:

That looks great. No reason why a functional knife (which that one absolutely is) can't look awesome too (which that one does).

I love the design. It looks like a very handy knife. The slim handle appeals to me. I think it would be better as a full scandi grind but that is more preference. Solid work. Mac

Nice work, you definetly have your own style, looks great!

 

[j williams]

Thats a badass blade!!!

 

[Mack]

That looks great. I loved the forged finish. You definitely have a great design there!

 

[PB Wilson]

Ditto what everyone else said. It's really great and has your distinctive "look" about it.

No doubt Tal will make comment about my comment about "your look," but really, it looks like a nice, slim useful knife with tons of character thrown in. The carving design adds just the right look.

That's a sweet knife, but it doesn't hold a candle to the Bush Tool.

I love the handle, dude.

Rick, I love how you crank out your blades with such distinctive character. The blade shape on that one is conventional, but one which is my favorite for visuals and use. A drop point that isn't quite fully centered. Blades like that just look right to me and they feel right to use as well. The forge marks and maker's stamp work nicely on the blade.

The handle really captures the weathered look you have so well crafted. The carving, which I think is new for your work, accentuates the grain pattern without being overly obtrusive. Very nicely done. You have a full sized handle on smaller blade and yet you have somehow managed to not unbalance the appearance and harmony of its aesthetics. I like the understated contours, a bit of swell in the middle of the handle. It looks really comfy to hold and has the right girth and length to support a variety of holding positions.

Looks a real winner. Can't wait to see the sheath.
