Thats a great knife. The finish on the blade looks great in the videos.

VERY nice indeed...from the profile, to the killer hamon, to the handle profile and NICE burl Nick!

Amazing how much those lines cut in the bolster add to the overall look.

Wow, super! That blade is out of this world. That rolling cloud hamon is stunning. Overall size and shape of this knife looks great. This is one I'd love to handle and would surely end up purchasing. Please post pics after the Master from Texas does his magic.

Your video of this knife is like watching a beautiful, highly skilled stripper on stage, almost hypnotic (I think I need to get out more ).

Nice & pointy. To a happy collector...?

Top of your game as Always Nick. I love the dark lines on either side of the flute, it adds a real nice touch. :thumbup:

Great work Nick. The hamon is superb and reminds me of a Rorschach test, everyone sees something different.

Coopishly awesome blade shape. In-sane hamon. Wheelerlicious! Big congrats to the new owner.

Thank you guys for looking and taking the time to post, I really appreciate it!

I got really frustrated because this is the most active "chatoyant" hamon I've ever done, but I just couldn't get it to show in video or photos the way it looks in hand.

Rob, you really cracked me up with your post... I think that's the first time I've seen a stripper analogy in the knife forum.

Thanks guys!!!

edited- No Dave, unfortunately I can't make it this year. Sucks because I've been a table holder at all of them, but we can't afford the trip this year. I'll miss hanging out with you guys and drooling over all the killer knives!
