Stunning piece, Gabor! I love the fact that the steel came from a Leopard! What a tremendous historical piece.
Glad to see you're back at it after your injury. Of course seeing this piece just makes my mouth water waiting for my turn in the queue!

Lots of WOW factor in that one.
You certainly use some exotic steels.

Damn! This is the best custom (IMO) that I have seen yet. It appeals to all my tastes. That's it, there's nothing more to say.
