Great knife Brad, that's a real user for sure and no doubt will provide a lifetime of reliable service. I'm a fan of the .060" Kydex myself hardly ever use any .080" anymore.
Great job on the re-curve grind, that is a great looking knife. Love how you shaped the scales and the red liner in there too. Both ends of that blade mean business.
Thanks for sharing,
Bruce
Great looking hamon Frank. Do you use the vinegar to darken the blade more or is there another process? Polished bolsters will really make that hamon pop, can't wait to see more.

Hey guys,
Been away from the forum for a little while, life has those interesting ways of interrupting our routine sometimes. I'll be doing a give-away in the Pay it forward thread pretty soon, that's always fun. Good to be back.

They both look great Keith. I can't decide which one I like the best although I love damascus steel.
Did a little filework on the knife you sent me, just did the blade so far but want to do the frame also.
