Thanks Frank!

I got a fella back home that is a woodworker that send me "scraps" ever now and then. Some of the most amazing walnut I've ever seen. I havent even started cutting into "the good stuff" yet.

Well this ended up being my first knife ever sold. I made the standard sheath for it with some minor stamping.

Im happy with the 1080. It sharpened very nicely with a 20deg angle, cut 20 full cuts thru 9oz. leather and still shaved.

Looks like more 1080 needs to be ordered.

I love the design. Elegant, clean, and the dark wood just complements this even more. Beautifully done. You did some file work on the spine, it seems. Any chance you could show that?

Thanks guys!

Chris it does have some filework on the spine. I went a little overboard though. The person who recieved it has a last name that begins with "W". So, I tried to do W up the spine.

I guess it doesnt look "bad", but as usual I think it could look better.
