These things are totally banned Down Under, but it doesn't stop me admiring some fine, fine craftsmanship ! Really cool design, particularly with the handle shape and exposed ends. Still trying to figure out how you did those crisp plunge cuts at that angle.

My only quibble is that maybe the sheath style might clash a little. I don't personally don't care - its a great looking sheath. But I myself previously made a knife-sheath combo with a modern vs. traditional look, and it was firmly criticised as most viewers thought it didn't match and one distracted from the other. Please don't take offense to this, I might be totally off on this issue... :confused: Just thought I'd pass the idea along. Jason.
 
Thanks guys :) Jason, I'm sorry but sheath-work is something I'm working on. It was a hard descision between the leather and kydex.
The plunge lines are freehand , no bolt-on guides. I'm rather roughing it :D I got a home made grinder and I mark the platten with a sharpy.
OH, also sandpaper and the urge to get just a little bit better :)
