Try as I might to be a non-conformist, I have to agree with everybody else that the knife looks great, Matt.

Very nice Matt! I love the treatment you put on your Maple handles. I am trying to save money to order a new bow by Roy Hall and want that kind of finish on it and want to make a hunter and camp knife to match. When I raise the money I may shoot you a PM about it if you don't mind.
