Outstanding!!   :thumbsup:  
Balance like that is the difference between a 'nice' knife and a 'great' knife imo.

Excellent job on the pair!

Holy CRAP!! Kevin that Demascus Pattern on the fighter is top shelf. Beautiful work my friend.

Phenominal stuff, Friend.
I really mean that - that is stupendous.
I'm really diggin' that Fighter!
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.
