Nice looking knife.  Reminds me of a knife a pirate might would carry.

Thanks guys, I didn't expect much attention.

mwmwmb: I did not use a jointer, it was all done by hand, fit it, file, fit, file, fit, file, so on and so forth until it was flush, rough all surfaces, apply lots of epoxy, and clamp.

Thanks again for all the kind words.
