I don't like it ............... I LOVE IT!!!!!!

That may be my favorite knife of yours I have ever seen. You have definitely proved the old adage that good things come in small packages. Simple, elegant, well-proportioned, well-executed. That little knife is special. Congratulations.

Thanks guys, Steve that horn is touchy, you can burn it in a heart beat, I took this one to 2000 grit and buffed it some, it shined up good

SWEEEEEET!
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. TGMM ♥
