OK, This is #2, let me know what you think.
This one will go to my dad for X-Mas. IC

Now that's a fancy finish. Looking good.

Looks good IC. You're headed in the right direction.

Looks really nice! Great finish & nice shape to the handle. You're doing great.

IC, great work nice fit and finish.

Thats an impressive shine, I hope to make something like that one day! NICE!

Dang that's nice! Going to be a proud dad come Christmas.:D

Oooh. Shiny!

Frosty

Very nice... it's so shiny it's hard to see in the pics. But I love reflection in the second pic.:D

Howd you finish it IC? Did you give it a buff? Really nice work!!

Man that thing is beautiful!!! GREAT WORK!!!

You really did a great job on the finish as well as the style and craftsmanship.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. When people
appreciate what you are doing it makes you (me) want
to try hard and get better with each blade. Even though
it's only a RR spike I feel good when I'm working on a knife
and it's cool to be able to stand back and say, hey...I made
that with my own two hands.
I have three more to make by X-Mas, for gifts, after that I'll try my
hand at something bigger, my nephew asked if I could make
him a Khukri, looks like that will be my first BIG knife. Hey, seriously,
thanks again for the great feedback.

MetalMuncher, I buffed the crap out of this thing, sisal wheel
with matchless fastcut followed by spiral sewn with black magic
then spiral, concentric, and loose with matchless white and finally
loose muslin with pink scratchless. Was originally going to put a
scotchbrite finish on it.... go figure huh?
