I like it! A unique take on that design, well done.

The knife I like as well, very pointy.

thx, Dwayne,
i've got an update with a firesteel

I love the angles on the body, love the dye too.

Is the steel pretty secure? I drill a hole through the handle and run elastic cord through it to loop the bottom of the rod. I also put a little GI can opener on the cord for a striker. I've seen small pieces of a hacksaw blade used as a striker as well.

I like how yours is on the front of the sheath.

Lovely work as always. [emoji106]

Hi Omega. thx for reply
the secure part is under the brass handle, there is a little flap you can put up (see pic) so the firesteel can't come up. but it has to dry first.

I didn't see that, very clever!
