Little guy with big aspirations

[D.Ellis]

Just finished this one up today.
The customer wanted a big knife attitude in a smaller size for general purpose work. This is what I came up with.

Textured mild steel guard
Fluted NS spacer
114 layers of 15n20 and 1084......bashed the hard way, as usual.
Stabilized birch burl handle.
tip to guard 4 9/16"......8 7/8" overall.
.200" thick at the guard, heavy distal taper.
False edge, not sharp.
Domed NS pin


All comments and critique welcome.

That's the first of those style of all the beautiful "fighters (or Bowie?)", by any knife maker, that I've been attracted too. I love the downsizing!  That grip just begs to be held!
