Very nice! I really like the shape. Thanks for sharing.

Contentment is not the fullfilment of what you think you need but the realization of how much you already have.

I love the shape. That thing is wicked. Why did you leave the guard raw? I don't know whether it would look better polished or not, but the guard contrasts so sharply with the blade because of the difference in levels of polish that I think it detracts somewhat from the overall appearance.

Ooooo!!! Lovely! that is one nice knife. A different shape to the blade than I have seen on most... Is that an actual style, or did you take artistic license? Either way, it's quite nice. Good work:) (I love all things sharp shiny and pointy).
