I had a guy order this one for an anniversary present to his wife, I hope she likes it for his sake....lol.

If she doesn't love that, I'll be shocked.

I like the yellow g-10. It really sets them off. I haven't done any of the double thumb and forefinger cross hatching in a while. It really works good on using knives.

I thought you were reposting mine there for a second, lol. Then I saw it had different scrollwork. Such a great job.

I guess that's good and bad in a way. When I post a knife I get a lot of requests for one just like it or almost just like it. Which is good everyone knows what there getting and for me I can just reproduce from the same pattern make a few minor changes everyone is happy. On the other hand that makes my list of new knives and things I want to experiment with get longer and longer. Since I really only have the weekends to make knives, go hunting, fishing, mow, and anything else I want or need to do I stay behind...lol. Any way I'm about to pack up the knife shop and my house and move to a place I can spread out a little bit with a much bigger shop. I'm going to take the time when I move to complete a bunch of projects I have been wanting to do for some time, like make myself a new knife grinder, make a home-made heat treat over, I have one but I also have all the parts gathered to make my own just need to make time. Make a 2nd forge this one with two burners. When I get those projects done I will start making knives again with a few new rules for myself one of those is make sure I have plenty of time to play since that's why I started this whole hobby.
