Thanks, Master Williams! Hehe I had a couple sleepless nights mulling over this one. Its not easy to just sit down and stare at a blank piece of paper and draw out something. People think its easy, but danged if it aint hard work making a knife this big. I'll admit I rubbed on this sucker way more than I should have, waffled over handle materials, chewed myself inside out as to whether or not folks were growing weary of my stippling technique yet, and pulling out my hair wondering "just how far" I should take the embellishments of this knife.

Thank you, one and all for your kind comments. I really do take them all to heart - from you - my friends.
