Wow, perdy...a tad polished eh?!

John,
I didn't expect the handle to feel very good, but when I first picked it up I was surprised at how solidly it locked into the hand. This even with the material being so smooth. There are no hard edges that would make hot spots if you used the knife (not that I'd risk the finish
) and the slight swell in the middle seems perfect.
Bruz,
High polish, what high polish? The odd distorted image on the blade is my twisted reflection. It must have taken as much time to put that polish on the blade as it took to make the rest of the knife. It's nice to see this type of work in a sea of bead blast/camo coated/satin finished blades!

All these honkin' big toadstickers! You've been hanging out with The Visigoth entirely too dang much.

Tam,
Hey, Lurch isn't a "bad" influence. He's just opened up a whole new area for me to appreciate. Considering that Breed threatened to kill me if I ever made him make another little gent's folder like the "Black Prince" I'm not as unbalanced (in collecting that is) as you've made everyone think.
Tams' talking about a knife tradn', gun swapn', fossil findn', jewlery jinkn' buddy of mine that is 6'6" with an additonal couple of inchs of hair with hands the size of griz paws. He therefore thinks that anything under 7 inches is a pocket knife and a large knife is something with at least a 14" blade.
