Looks awesome Riverwarrior...and Bill!
 
Man, I would not touch that knife with a 10' pole . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I would want to wrap both hands around it and caress it until the cows come home . . . . :D
R/W, great looking & functional knife design once again as well. Love the maple scales, and leaving the blade black just adds a touch of "mystery" to it. Was a sheath made for it ???
Nice work BA, as usually, once again, you da' man . . . . :thumbup:
Be safe.
 
Bill, R W, that knife turned out beautiful. If River Warrior keeps hangin' round Bill, we may have another knife maker on our hands!!
 
:eek: Bill, once again (and as always), your craftsmanship is just plain top notch....period!:thumbup: The combo finish of satin and acid etch on the blade makes it appear that a storm is brewing. Ironic that this blade is called the "Tempest" which basically means "violent storm". Thanks fellas for the kind comments.

I'm gettin' ready to head to the shop Bill to pick it up, so I'll see ya in a bit buddy. Thanks again....you knocked it out of the park:thumbup:

Congrat's to both Bill and Marc.....beautiful design, unique and aptly named.

A very "WOW" result..........
 
Earlier this morning, I picked up the knife from Bill's shop. Words can't even describe the craftsmanship that was put into this blade. When Bill says "SSSSSCARY SHARP", he's not kidding. Hairs came off his arms without even touching the blade to the skin:eek:.....that's not "Scary Sharp", that's absolutely criminally insane sharp...:D

After leaving Bill's shop, I drove straight home and informed the wife to have the sewing kit on standby just in case I lose a digit or two while playing with the new knife. Once again, I took a deep breath and began to do some simple bushcrafting with it. I actually didn't have this particular blade made for bushcrafting tasks, but I just wanted to see what it would do in the sharpening and fuzzy stick category. It passed with flying colors, even with my sorry skills at bushcrafting:o

Here are a few pictures of this blade in the backyard (and yes, it has officially been baptized in fire and has the scratches to prove it...:D)















Thanks Bill!!!
