It certainly looks as one piece, but its actually 2. Seamlessly put together. And, yes its extremely comfy in any grip.
I'll get a better pic of the handle. You can barely see the seem when you look at it. They did a fantastic job.

David, just think original Nilakka zero grind when you see the blade grind. Extremely freakin sharp outta the box lol
I think you may also be able to see the seem in this pic

Hopefully a better look at the Convex (hamaguri)edge...

However, she's also 4mm in blade stock. She would be good to go for batonning. She's a very stout knife actually.

Think I'll call it my "Ninja" knife :D
After reading the product guide, it appears that Tom Zoomer, among other things has trained extensively in the Japanese martial art of ninjutsu. I'm of course assuming that's Ninja stuff :)
Which works great actually, considering I'm pretty much a mall ninja anyways :D :D

Seriously though, there's no doubt about it. You could work all day and night with this and not find any hot spots.
But.....again, considering how nice and beefy and extremely comfy the handle is, I really wish the blade was longer. Prolly just me showing my ignorance, as she is a Bush craft knife and prolly the exact right length. I really wouldnt know. - Again, I wish she had a little more blade to her.
Other than that, and again, I've only owned her for a few hours. She is a home run.

Sal,
Just a suggestion. Keep this handle, and build more fixed blades around it. It's a real winner imo.

This is a very nice blade.

Oh yeah, another very cool feature, is thanx to the way they designed the sheath, it will fit either right or lefty.
Southpaws needn't worry

That thing looks awesome!

Thank you Josh :)

Thanx much MacLaren. Nice pics and comments. Use the **** out of it and keep us posted.

I like it even more now.
The quality is superb.
Any idea on how the G10 slabs are attached?

Nice knife Paul! :cool:

Any chance of some in hand pics ... maybe with a Military or something for size comparison? :)

Not really. But, they are pretty much seamless. Extremely nice.

Great pics! So how are you supposed to sharpen this thing? Micro bevel?

Stropping and prolly be careful not to get it too dull?

Yep. Also, sandpaper wrapped around your strop or on a mousepad for actual sharpening (rather than maintenance stropping). Or a slack belt on a grinder for reprofiling/regrinding. Convex edges are actually super easy to maintain and sharpen.
