IMHO, this is the nicest one I've seen from you yet. The lines, size and style just mesh on this one. :thumbup:
 
isnt that the "knuckle buster" if so, my post on that one stands! beautiful knife! wish i could make it mine
 
:(:(:(
this is what happens when your crappy net service goes down for a couple days, I'll have to keep an eye out fir the next in the series.
 
I really like seeing the hamon in smaller knives. I also like the way you've showcased the grain of the micarta. Those two characteristics really draw me in. The blade shape has a nice profile for an EDC.

Whenever I look at a knife, I think about how I'm going to carry and use it. Since so many people freak out at the sight of a sheath hanging off your belt, I really like the IWB carry for EDC fixed-blades.

Unfortunately, this is not a popular choice for sheathmakers. I think that the reason is simple: you can't really showcase your skills in this format, can you? On the other hand, if I were to carry your knife in an IWB sheath, the knife would spend a lot more time out in the world, and your knifemaking skills would be better showcased.
