Nice proportions and flow. Beautiful wood. I especially like the sweep of the plunge cuts with the shape of the blade. In the foto, the thong tube looks like it could use a little more attention at the inner rim and clean up the inside.
Nice piece.:thumbup:

Fitzo Your are right on with the lanyard hole. I got a lot of the Ture-Oil in the lanyard hole that I still need to clean out. I was thinking of using a Pipe cleaner with some WD-40 on it to clean it out. (Good Eye)

Larry, for shining up the inside of my lanyard tubes I took a piece of 1/8" brass rod ~ 3" L. and saw cut a short slot in it. Chuck it up in your foredom or dremel tool, slip a small piece of 220 paper in the saw cut slot and roll the paper around the brass rod. Slip it into your lanyard tube and let-er-rip. It will shine the ID of your tube up like a mirror.

Great looking knife you made there btw :thumbup: I like it

David,

I like your method of using the brass rod and sand paper. I use s similar technique. Instead of a brass rod, I just use a long cotter pin in my electric drill.
