Sweeeet set Butch! How do you fit the scales with no plunge? Does
the bevel carry all through the tang?

Wow. I really like everything about these, but the blade angle on the smaller is just great. Thats the shape I'm looking for as I slowly plan towards my own place and my own kitchen.
 
Love the smaller of the two, looks like it will make a great utility blade around the kitchen.
 
Just a note to blow Butch's horn a little bit. He was gracious to let me buy some blanks of this same material to be turned into a pen and pencil set for my fiance. They turned out very nicely and she was very pleased.

Butch, I'm trying to remember to write Andrew and have his give you his impressions of your mycarta after working with it.
 
if you got pictures of it that would be cool too

so far as from this batch i hav eot see how much i ll have left over before selling more (pink/purple)
