Thanks Kevin Olson, I admire folks that give it a try and stick with it no matter how bad they might think the blade is. Trust me I’m very critical of my own stuff but I do like and crave constructive criticism, plus the knife is your own. My buddies I made knives for have told me they really don’t care how great it looks, even though that’s part of it, rather it was made by me (their friend) and by hand, no other like it. Thanks
