It's your best yet Coach.
Very nice indeed!
Mick
There is no use focusing on aiming if you don't execute the shot well enough to hit what your are aiming at.

Cheers Mick , I love it as well , burl just tops a knife off IMO and the pin helps as well
The handle isnt actually as shiny as it appears in the pics , I took those just after oiling the handle and it hadn't soaked in yet . It has a nice smooth flat appearance to it and grips well

You really are a craftsman, Coach. You need to think about where your going to take this knife making caper. You have genuine talent, what are you going to do with it?
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

have to say, definately your best knife yet,
you should start making knives for more than a hobby because you definately have a great market, a few of my mates are becomming increasingly interested in having a custom knife, ill try and push them a bit more for you
keep up the great work
A smile is priceless, yet can make so much difference

Mate, do you reckon you could do more models that have lanyard tubes? You'd hate to lose a knife like that!
