W2 & CocoBola Fighter/Bowie, 9-1/2" blade, 1/4" at ricasso, 14-1/2" overall. Handle is nicely figured Cocobola, real pretty stuff. Made this one real flat up at the guard so it will carry "easy" concealed. Convex edge, sharp clip, hand sanded 400 grit with working polish on hamon.

I like the knife a lot, Matt, and the handle profile looks just about perfect to me. I prefer slimmer grips on just about any handle, even though I wear a size large glove.

Very beautiful Matt. I have a leaning toward thinner handled knives also. They tend to be more comfortable and easier to grip. If the handle is to thick I have to stop and re-grip if chopping. Your "working Hamons" look brilliant. Thanks for sharing. As always it didn't disappoint.
I am sure a new home is in the near future for this one. Who I their right mind wouldn't want one of your great knives.
