Bill, Fine looking Knife! Outstanding looking piece of birch. At first I thought you used a piece of cork.

Beautiful knife and that chunk of wood is visually striking.

I'll second that, and note the nice line-up on the fitting twists.

Thats an attractive knife. I think the damascus fittings finish it real well. That wood is crazy.

You're really on fire these days Bill. Just stunning. I love the full "swedge" grind along the spine and yeah that chunk of wood is amazing. I was just looking up some Masur birch thinking of it as handle material... I think I'll look harder.
