Gerhard,
Considering I usually don't really take a special interest in *this* type of knife, I'm impressed with the fact that you impressed me! ;-)
Seriously though, great work, great craftmanship. I especially love the way you made the guard and that metal thingy on the sheath form a perfect tri-something...absolutely brilliant!

EDIT: Oh, and Merry Christmas to you and everyone else on this forum too!
