I really like that; especially the handle.

Hey Rick,

Is this handle making process with the epoxy soaked hemp cordage something you could walk a layman through? I'd really love to do this to the handles of my hatchet and my tomahawk, but I'm not sure where to begin...

Love both your puukko and your s-curve puukko... I have no idea which one I love more. If they ever become available I will definitely be giving you a shout.

Thanks,

JGON

Edit: Just realized this was my 500th post. Pretty sweet!

Careful now....do I detect a slight hump there back of the point?? that looks a little "nessmukish" to me. Very nice knife!
