Some of you fellas know I was looking for a knife to give my oldest daughter as a gift. I wanted something a 17-year-old would find attractive with a unique look, but still suitable for actual use. Mike really came through and met the tight timeline I'd boxed myself into! I believe the girl will like it and hopefully put it to use on her elk hunt in November at the latest. A big thanks to Mike!

Woot! Woot! That’s really nice. She should be proud to carry that one. Mike makes top notch knives.

I think Mike said they're Glen's burl with bronze resin, but hopefully, he'll chime in and correct me if I'm wrong. He had a few different blocks and I thought these would be the right choice.

Yessir, Mike can put out some really beautiful knives. And they only seem to get better as he goes along.

Ha, I like it too. She's actually not much of a girly-girl anyway.

Well, my daughter got to put the new knife to work on her elk hunt. She was successful the evening of the first day so skinning commenced that night. My phone was taking really crummy pics, so these are the best I have:
