very nice lines. i am generally not a fan of your blades...just a style thing. but i do like this one alot.

i am loving that thong. is it tigertail or something similiar? any particular reason you chose that? i'm just curious becuase it is so unique

Nice work as usual, I'm guessing that the ''thong'' is braided stainless steel cable:thumbup:

It is indeed tigertail

Some artisans I share shows with work with glass and tigertail and I thought it'd be a nice touch for an all metal knife.
