America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.
Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!
W2, Koa and a little damascus, a hunter this time...

Great looking hunter John - I agree, it's the time of the year to make hunters. Did you forge this from round bar or plate stock?

Wonderful. There is just something about your knives, as a complete package, that just makes them seem "finished".
Many knives I look at, I think I would change a small detail or another to suit my tastes. Not so here (or frankly, on nearly every single knife you post).
The coined spacer, and detail finish with the end of your handles, combined with the acid etch you do just seems "proper" to my eye.
I'm always a fan of the natural looking wood as well. I feel green or blue died wood distracts my eye.

This guard is absolutely beautiful and takes this piece over the top IMO.
A local guy that collects trash already volunteered to dispose of this one for me.
