Critique away, gents.

 

[Kevin Zito]

I like the shape a lot on this one. Good job!

 

[Bruce McLeish]

Thanks , Kevin. Appreciate it

Very nice!
I always like the file work. Wish I could do that.

 

[Bruce McLeish]

Thanks , springer. Just buy some cheap steel from Lowes , file the edge square , draw some spacers with a sharpie , get a set of cheap jewelry files from harbor freight and start filing. Google " knife file work " and prepare to be blown away looking at real talent.

 

[Jason Volkert]

I dig it!

 

[Sean Jones]

I like it! Very nice!

Nice knife. Really like that profile. Only thing I see, and it might just be the camera angle, is at the back one side looks higher than the other.
If it is, easy fix, just sand the high side a little more.

I have watched it before. There is just no time for that. I'm lucky if I get to play at all these days. Soon it will be back to normal. lol,,,,,,,

Thanks Randy. It's not th camera angle. It's definitely off. You would think that I would have at least noticed that. That is one of the advantages of posting these pics. Some days you're the windshield, some days you're the bug. You know?

I really like that low layer count Damascus - it all looks good.

 

[Bruce McLeish]

Thanks Sean

 

[Chris Railey]

It looks really good. I really like the peened pins. I have always wanted to peen mine but I am always afraid to hit my handle scale and dent it all up.

 

[Bruce McLeish]

Chris, I cheated on the peening by putting the knife handle on an anvil , putting my small ball pein hammer on the pin and tapping on the face of the hammer with another small hammer.
