Well I am very proud to say these are both my knives.
I bought one for my father, and one for myself to match. Our names are stained on the other side of the blade.
My thoughts of the knife-
I really like the feel if the knife, it is rounded in just the right spots on the handle, making it really comfortable to hold and handle.
The file work is something that has to be seen in person to appreciate. It's awesome!
These knives are not collector items, my dad and I have done a little hunting over the past few years and will continute to do some more over the next couple. We are going to beat the crap out of these!!! They are tools for us, and that's the reason we went with micarta for the handle. It should hold up well.
Thanks again to Art Summers, he talked me through the process of picking a working knife style, and I like what turned out for my pap and I
