I am new to bladeforums and a respected member of the community who saw my post in a separate sub-forum suggested that I post the custom knife in this sub-forum. This is a custom Kukri by Jay Fisher that I ordered several years back and which arrived last week. I hope you enjoy the pictures and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments.

Jay is incredibly talented.

His style is not my favorite but non the less he is truly a talented craftsman and artist.
 
Excellent craftsmanship, but not my style

Is this purely a display piece?
