Some of you guys wanted an update, so here it is!

My only critique, which is based solely my own personal taste, and not so much the knife making itself, is that for a bowie it seems a bit small to me, Blade vs handle ratio wouldn't suit my own taste for a bowie. But other then that, awesome job, keep up the great work!

I can definitely see that, I just find that anything over 4 inches becomes difficult to heat treat with my set up. Im about to make a 8 inch bladed boning knife for someone though so I will have to figure something else out... haha

im sorry to hear that. i dont know what c4 means. gotcha. thanks for the followup on the grind and geometry. its appreciated.

im very impressed. really great job on it. keep up the work.......

c4 refers to the injury level, meaning the 4th cervical vertebrae (in the neck) Generally means paralization from the neck down, but after some prayers and a lot of hard work I have had some function return in my upper body.
