Lee,
These are some very handsome knives - I love the appearance of that San Mai - how it looks like a differential heat treat with dual hamon. many nice ideas here. If I were in a position to get a custom I would strongly consider it. Regardless, I just added you on facebook and would like to see what else you have made. I am hoping to get into making knives myself and unfortunately have had to take a bit of a break due to other priorities. Still, I will likely be noodling with some metal soon and this post is inspiring.

It's good to see you back Lee. That new one is just gorgeous. I love the shade of orange of the G-10 handles. And the orange G-10 and black spacers mated with the two-tone sheath is a very handsome pairing.

Additionally, the handle looks incredibly comfortable and functional, especially the way it swells toward the bottom for enhanced grip. It also looks like you managed to put as much edge length as possible into the design which is always a good thing.

You're an artist, Lee. Good to hear from you now and again. You don't happen to have a website, do you? I'm not on Facebook.
- best wishes, Jazz.

Glad to see you use a high rise Kydex sheath. For me the sheath has to be right or I wont buy the knife. I absollutely hate even the mention of nylon and leather won't get it either. The sheath has to be a Kydex clamshell with no retaining straps where you pop the knife in and pop it out but with enough retention that it's not going to fall out no matter what.
