I love this knife! I 've held this one in Mike's shop...it's even better in person. Someone is going to get a steal of a deal on this one. Too bad my knife buying fund is low or I would snatch it up.
 
Hi Mike,

Had a chance to use the Rattler in the field. The texture of the blade really stood up in the sun, like glimmering waves.

Here's one in the field:

Here's a couple where I try to capture the moving glint of the sun:

As you can tell, I had a bit of fun playing with the light:

Down to some business, with cutting of cordage:

chopping through a small log:

and the fun of making other sharp pointy things:

With its exceptional looking sheath:

Thanks again Mike for a great looking knife, with beauty and performance.
