Brad,
The next time you want to make an "UGLY" knife, feel free to contact me, as it is apparent that you can't make an ugly knife! I, on the the other hand am an accomplished Ugly Knife Maker! I would be happy to help you with making a knife ugly! Although, my very best (of my ugly knives) were not exactly planned to be ugly, they just turned out that way, and boy are the AWESOME(LY UGLY)! Though none have seen the light of day, I have kept one, as an example of what NOT to do, a reminder of sorts, to PLAN! AND FOLLOW THE PLAN! The Truly Sad part about that knife is that I used a premium piece of Mo. Walnut Burl that I got from Don Hanson about 3 or 4 years ago! Wood that pretty deserved more respect!
Your knife turned out really nice, maybe not pretty, but 'Users' aren'tsupposed to be all gussied up....well, unless you just really like to gussy up knife that doesn't need it or shouldn't have it,...like me, heck man I put a Hamon on my EDC!
But seriously, this knife is super nice, definitely NOT ugly. I have been looking at different cord types out there, not. Nothing fancy, just whatever I find where ever I am, I came up with an idea to try to use it for a handle, I had not considered soaking it in epoxy, thanks for reminding me of this, great job! Rex
