Mike, that is a very nice looking knife! I like the handle profile and that deep belly blade. What is that wood you used, and is that forged or stock removal?

Nice etch job too.

You need to up date your profile to knife maker.

Thanks Steve,

It is stock removal. Hadnt graduated to a forged blade yet but i hope to once i get my grinding technique down.
Im not sure of the handle wood, it was given to me by a friend and is laminated.
