This one came together really smoothly. It's a little different than the usual knives I make, but I'm very happy with how it turned out. There are a few more pics and a short video of this knife over on my blog if you want to stop by. The address is below in my signature. Let me know what you think, and don't hold back if you see something you don't like or could be done better. I truly strive to improve with each knife and feedback is critical on pinpointing those areas that could be worked on. Here are the specs:

John and Anthony, thanks for taking the time to comment and for your kind words. I appreciate it.
 
Thanks, DeMo. I love buckeye burl. The burl is tight enough to even look good on a small folder scale with some very interesting color too.
