Two in a row, man! That's beautiful. I love the lines (er, curves) and proportions. That maker's mark is nice as well.

Dana- Great work. Can you explain how you finished the back of the ricasso where it meets the spacer?

Thanks guys
gables, I tried to do it like Lin did but I ground most of it then put it in my file guide, just like you do the back of the ricasso on a regular blade.

I really like that knife, Dana. 52100 is one of my favorite knife steels too.
