Looking good buddy, can't wait to see it with the handle finished !
 
Gorgeous. I love this style.

Looking forward to the handle pics. How will you finish the leather wrap? Epoxy?

All the best,

I love that style of droppoint and the belly on that is nice. Overall I really like it, cant wait to see it finished.
 
great looking knife once again Rick...:thumbup: i love the blade shape on this one...:D
 
Rick that is great, I really like your work. Hickory is a FANTASTIC choice! One of my favorite woods for handles.
 
I really like it too. Kinda flows. I've done a few knives with a handle shape very similar and they seem very comfy in the hand after long use.
 
Nice looking lines on that one:thumbup: Like it a lot. Can't wait to see it completed.
 
That is stunning. It reminds me of a stone knife for some reason. You make nice stuff Rick.:thumbup:
 
I would handle it in that burlap, and jute wrap like that big knife you did. I can totally see it.
 
great shape! sorta primitive looking and yet very solid and sturdy. you could also use a stabilized wood or animal horn for the handles. either way it looks very cool... :thumbup:
