The handle was pretty rough looking at one point. Have to have faith.    :)

Reminiscent of John Nelson Cooper's knives, except that he never achieved that kind of guard-to-blade fit. Plus, I don't believe he forged his blades.

Neat idea.

Wow, you just crank out one master piece after the other.  I love the variety.  You do so many things, so well.

I like using a knife with that handle shape over the hatchet handle that seems to be the fad right now. And I like the not  so busy Damascus.
