That is one tough looking knife. I like the grind lines. I bet that it has a good heft to it.

Great Knife!!!
 
That is one useful looking knife! I really like it. It appears to have the good balance you mentioned, and could, if needed for its primary role, put some fear into the hearts of some at the pointy end. Great job!
 
I am sure it would cut a breast bone.
Just pick up the nearest rock and POUND:D

This will be getting a sheath in the near future.
Can't decide on leather or Kydex:confused:
Any suggestions!
