Real nice looking knife Darcy. Really like that blade profile and pattern. Nice work on the guard and spacer too.

I keep looking at this knife and cant quite put my finger on what I like about it but I can say it works for me. It is a feel more than anything.

By the way Darcy, I got to hold one of your blades last week and it is very nice. Straight as a string and well ground.    :campfire:
