I stopped to visit with Mike Wilson earlier this week spending a couple of hours talking knives and touring his shop. Mike is a gracious southern gentleman who has trained scores of knife makers and never lets anyone leave his shop without a gift. Mine was a tracing of one of his knives and a nice piece of cocobolo for a handle. So here is the finished product Mike, hope you approve.

1/8 inch ATS34
Hollow ground with a slight profile ground on top of the blade
Mirror finish
Overall length: 8 3/8 inches
Blade from the handle to tip: 4 1/8 inches
Sharpened part of the blade: 3 1/4 inches

Though using [ and collecting Randalls for 47 years] I would be proud to have this super designed. The curve, shape, and wood is a visul/tactal treat.

Thanks for sharing.
 
Nice lookin' knife! Those nickel pins sure add another level of class to the cocobolo!

Great job!

Mike's shop would make any knifemaker's mouth water. I didn't count but there must be nearly 8 grinders, a bunch of buffers, mills, lathes and assorted equipment. He has more drill presses than I have drill bits. And everything is as neat as a pin. Very impressive indeed!
 
Very nice!
Mike makes a great knife & is a top notch bloke to deal with.
Cheers
