Very pretty knife that Mark. Purely on a personal taste thing here, but I'm with Chiseller on the "not my bag" thing, no offense intended on your or Robbi. But it's still a superb piece of artwork as well as functional tool and the workmanship is faultless.

Juttle, no pressure mate, but I am REALLY looking forward to seeing what ou make out of your Hillbill blank.

Lovely looking knife you got the Robbi, I LOVE my Hillbill knife, was out with it yesteerday making feathersticks while pausing on the dogwalk. It's a joy to use a decent tool for what it was designed for - in the woods. Big congrats on it, both of you.

Not everything can be to everyones taste all of the time. This type of knife happened purely as a "lets see if i can do a bolster", but then it turned into " ill stick another on the end and see what it looks like". I fully expected to mess the first up as the handle is made of 13 seperate parts, but didnt. Made about 10 of em now.

Glad your happy with your knife too mate.

Happy is an understatement. Take it about 5 notches up the scale and you could be about right.

[HillBill]

Nice one.
