Hey guys,
I'm one of those guys that check this forum every day but I don't post much.
I consider myself a reasonably accomplished maker, I am a journeyman smith, I have won a few "best" awards at a couple of small
shows, and have had pictures of a couple of knives in magazines.
That...
Mark,
Fantastic knife.
I agree that the blade should be more highly finished.
A whole career could be based on variations of that knife.
You have an obvious talent for that "type" of handle, cultivate it and you'll go far.
