    The shape looks weird, but I like it!

    A very modern design, with 70's influence. Cool design.

    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.
