Thanks for posting! It's a really nice looking piece.

I particularly appreciate the curved arc over the top contrasted by the straight line of the knife on its inderside. My only critique, based on the photos, is the rounded shape of the front of the Ti bolsters. For some reason, they look a bit out of place with the rest of the design. However, I don't have a good idea of what shape I would put in its place. That's probably why you're knifemaking and I'm not. ;)

Very classy and a unique look to boot.

Beautiful work there. The only critique I see is, you don't have your stamp or initials on it.

The only thing that comes to mind in looking at your knife is an old flintlock pistol with Sci Fi spaceship lines.

I must say, you're improving very quickly - and that's a compliment, not meant to say you previous works are bad, because they're really nice. This is REALLY nice work! Keep it up, and thanks for sharing, bro. Very useful blade shape you have there. :cool: :)

- best wishes, Jazz.
