Looks to me that you got 2008 off to a jaw dropping start!
 
There is very, very little you can do to Tom Overeynder's work to make it even more clean and desirable; one may be to add Owen Wood's crazy chevron steel, and the other is to add Joe's worthy engraving.

On this piece it is perfectly-suited. :thumbup:

Congrats, Paul!

Paul,

It was a pleasure to make a very special knife for you. It's very refreshing to see the enthusiasm you have for high quality handmade knives (mine in particular ofcourse) Owen will only supply steel to a few makers, I happen to be one of the few and he dose a great job, he's a true craftsman. Joe has engrave quite a number of my knives and as some may recall we got the "Best Collaboration at the 2006 Knifemaker's Guild show. We will be donig many more in the future. Thanks Joe for your fine efforts in this piece. Coop did the outstanding job of photographing it so all may see and enjoy, thanks, Coop.

A pleasure to see it and i'm sure it would be even more of one to hold it.
