Lin,

Simple, elegant, and functional - a knife boiled down to these three essentials. It is a wonderful design.

Very nice Lin. Is the finger guard portion pinned to the ricasso?

Thanks guys.

Yes, Chris, I filed a 1/8 stud on the corner of the ricasso and fit it through a hole in the guard. It's not peened but keeps the loop steady. Could peen it though.

Very nice Lin, I am curious if you are going to do a sheath for it.

I'll have my sheath maker make one.

Thanks guys!    :campfire:

I really like this knife. You have an eye for beauty in the simple and the complex.
