Thanks
Yes, it will be there.    :campfire:

BTW, if we can, I'd like to get some pictures of us TG members at the show so we can post them back here afterwards.

I don't want to take a knife to a gun fight, but that's the knife I would take to a knife fight!!!!! OMG, Lin! You have really made a statement with this knife. I'm just glad to know someone with your talents.

Lin, that guard makes the brass "blade catcher" insert strip on the spine seem really primitive. This guard would actually function exactly that way. The whole knife is beautiful and screams functionality at the same time.

I can picture the upper guard nestled in a recess with the sheath built up to nearly guard thickness at the throat. I envy your sheath maker. He's going to handle that knife a lot   :)
