Great work! :thumbup:

When I first saw the words tiger stripe I didn't know what to think, but I was pleasantly surprised, those handles really set the knife off. Nice job with the pictures as well, it looks right at home.

I love the way the grain looks in the top down view.
Beautiful knife.

That looks great Butch,:thumbup: My only critique is the grind line needs to go atleast 5/8's to 3/4 up the blade to achieve the proper geometry.

The grind is steeper than it looks,it started with a flat grind then a convex,plus its 1/8" stock--Thanks again guys--I appreciate the comments-Regards Butch

The wood is actually a laminate,but the layers are diagonal or the layers are cut diagonal-Thanks again-Butch
