Hey Frank,

Great looking work. Seems you like my Cuda design! :~)

Seriously it's a great blade shape that I don't think is used enough. I've been making this smaller 4" blade version for several years now. Never tried it in a big knife. But it looks great the way you did it.

Oh, and I'm with Mr. Anderson. That imitation ivory looks great. I'm always worried about synthetics, but seeing that gives me ideas. :thumbsup:

Great work. Keep it up!

chiger,

Thanks JD. I never seen your knife before. That blade is a basic bowie and the handle I kinda modeled after Lin Rheas. Your cuda looks like a very nnice skinner. Thanks Rob,Hear tell you will be moving to the states in a few months? Congrats.<><
