New to Knifemaking - My First Knife

[Jim Adams Customs]

I wanted to introduce myself my name is Jim Adams. I live in south central Kentucky. I just starting making knives again. This is my first custom knife. Actually my second. I made one thirty years ago when I was in high school. I wanted to do something I enjoyed, well and that is making knives.

I also think you have done well. Could you give us a description of the knife, please.
