Sure like the knife Jack! I totally understand trying to get the brain around that sheath. Fitting leather to that upswept style is one tough job, but you've handled it well.

I would really like to move this , so a price drop may be in order . $210.00 shipped is as low as it can go .

The knife arrived today;

Have you ever run across one of those blades that defies convention and yet is so timeless it's a wonder bladesmithing ever progressed beyond this point?

I can't stop picking it up, the grip shouldn't be this comfortable. And the amazing part - it works right or left handed.

Fit and finish is excellent, the grind is superlative, and the guard is extremely complementary to the overall feel and appearance of the knife. He wasn't kidding, it is absolutely wicked sharp. I can't be effusive enough about this knife.

The sheath, while giving the appearance of an afterthought at the behest of another forum member, is really quite well made, an excellent fit and I particularly like the offset snap keeping the backside of the snap off the bone.

I am actually honored to be the owner of this blade and I am a little suprised at being the one able to actually purchase it.

Kudos to Mr. O'Neill for his skill and asthetic ability.
