PERFECT user, buddy!
I hope that is headed to some lucky customer and you are not keeping that for yourself!?
A knife that nice needs to be out being seen by others.
Nice work.

Thank you everyone for the nice words!  This is one that came together as planned, it does not alway happen that way, but it is noce when it does.  This kinfe is also the last one to be made with the 1 X 30 sander and files, as I have now up graded to a 2 X 72.  My hope is to reduces construction time and improve quality at the same time.
