I like it. It has a rustic look like a period knife. Very nice. It doesn't look very small in the pictures though
 
I shoulda took a spine pic- it's a bit hourglassed in the handle with a wider butt, so the handle is a bit short. The design was tested in process in the kitchen by two pros, and is a good palm fit.

It keeps fooling me, I keep *thinking* it's a 5-6 inch blade, but it's really that in between "petty knife" size. The width of the blade is probably part of it. We tested it for some pre turkey prep work and it's a really useful size and shape. But it doesn't fit "paring knife" nor "Chef's knife"
 
Awesome- I hope the owner likes it as much when it arrives :)

I love doing the period look. No idea why, but it's how I see most of them.
 
Looks great,Coyote-looks to be a very handy size and shape.thanks for sharing:thumbup:
