Really nice John. Looks like you decided to leave the Damascus with a more “silver” finish. Great choice. I really like it a lot.

 

[Gene Kimmi]

Stunning as always. I love the coined collar.

I don't think there is any mistaking a John Doyle knife, they are all poetry in motion, as they sing to the beholder.
