I was fortunate enough to purchase this jewel from Bill at the Eugene,Oregon show. About 4 3/4" closed and some very stunning file work.

File work.

Exactly what I would expect from Bill, one gorgeous knife. That filework is exceptional.

Thanks Keith. When Bill was doing the file work on this piece, he made a slight slip with the file and mistakenly made an unintended gouge. After he looked at it a moment, he decided it looked pretty good and went on to incorporate the added feature into the rest of the file work. Tuned out pretty good! We got a pretty good chuckle out of it too.

You can pretty much spot one of Bill's knives from across the room just by seeing the filework.

You sure can. Looks like I will finally catch up with you West Coast and Texas guys and get to meet Bill. Great looking trapper Greg.
