Nice bird and trout blade! You could chop fish heads off at depth and whack flushing birds out of the air! And do it in style cuz you're holding a beautiful blade..

Beautiful work. I had to scroll down twice to get to the bottom of it.  I really like the forward position of the scales - up real close to the finger guard.

This is really an exceptional knife. Although much different than your fancy bowies. It really speaks to me for some reason

Great eye for design as always Lin.

Brute is a good description, when does it stop being a knife & become a short sword.
