Thanks guys for the nice words. This knife was designed after my very first knife,i love that knife, just wanted to make it better,here is the first one i ever made.
Now do they look anything alike?

Looks great Larry- like the finish and the burl is eye poppin'. And yes they look very much alike- new one's handle looks a bit more comfortable...
