That Turkish twist is incredible.
Beautiful blades.

Yeah both are very nice and I usually like the more random patterns but that turk knife as a whole is amazing.

Cool stuff, Phillip.
And might I add that I really enjoy the absence of those first finger radius grooves.
The straighter profile on the bottom portion of the grip is much more appealing to me. :thumbup:
