Hav a nice day! :)
Very nice I like the different shape
Well done
The shape looks weird, but I like it!
Cheers.
A very modern design, with 70's influence. Cool design.
Futuristic blade and scales, clean lines, Great work!
Well...it's different. What made you design it that way? Would like to hear how it "works".
Very nice. The curve of the spine really catches my eye.
Guys, thanks.
Shooter, I wanted to do something special. It works well, but it would be more convenient with smile edge, I think. The new owner did not complain. ;)
How was the honing? I made one of mine that didn't have the spine close to the end of the edge like this one and I ended up with a little more spine wear nearer to the toe/end of the blade. I agree that it looks good, but I have not made another like that because of this. You do nice work, I hope to see more.
I agree with you. I think I make no more like that because of you said. I tried to grinding paralell despite of the curved spine. The edge is perfect, but it could be much nicer.
I really like the look, well done!
very nice lines, i like it, reminds me of a 1960s car lines :)

I've never seen anything like that before.
That's a pretty cool design, I like it.
I'm overjoyed that you like it. :)
Whoa! THAT is one gorgeous design, it made went my eyes go wide at the first picture. really really nice work there.
Thanx Sibban! :)
It's sleek, futuristic, and retro all at the same time... very nice. Great job
Thank you so much, wynndow! :)
WOW just am awesome design. Love the blade scales and everything about it. You sir have some serious craftsmanship skills. So many scales today look the same. I'm enjoying the outside the box approach.
I'm happy that you like it. Thank you for your kind words! :)
Puts me in mind of Arlen Ness custom choppers and I LOVE his stuff too!!!
Very nice work!

A truly unique shape Sir!
It has that 50's and 60's kind of feeling to it.
The combination of the "invert swayback" spine and the very straight edge make it look like the TGV a bit.
I love it... period. :-)
Thank you, guys! :)
It looks like a concept car, amazing :)
pretty darn cool. nice work sir.
I absolutely love the design!!! Very artistic!!
How can I have a nice day why you show me something like that! "I want it! I want it!", he cried like a three year old in front of a candy case.Quote:
