Very nice. I rather like the top one better because you can get all the way down on a cutting board easier and still have an effective finger stop. That's some beautiful wood there.

Thanks Ron. Sometimes I like to take things a little far and make something different. The second one still feels nice in the hand.

I'll bet it does and I also hate building the same thing over and over.

The more of your knives I see, the better I like them and I've liked them from the first.

Thanks for sharing your tallent with us.

I really like your bolsters. They really add a lot of class.

Thanks Todd. I've had some people tell me they don't like bolsters, but I think they do add to the looks and balance of the knife.
