I am glad the package arrived safe and sound. Bob, I echo what others have said, you are certainly deserving. Have a great day my friend.

Does that have a tang that swells in the middle and thins out to the butt of the knife? That's so cool! Such a great idea!

Irona, the tang is tapered. The thickest part is at the ricasso. I forge the distal taper, from the ricasso to the tip, the primary bevels, the tapered tang and profile as close as possible before grinding. The purpose of the tapered tang is to decrease the handle weight and provide better balance.
