Bit of a departure for me. Black G10 ain't normally my thing, but I do it from time to time. The edge is a little thicker than usual for me, and lots of strength behind the tip. The handle shape works great for big hands and small hands. The long swedge reduces weight. The thumb grooves are hand filed, and flat topped. (An EMT tech at The Blade Show West grabbed his friend and showed him the knife knife he just picked up. "See," he said "this guy knows how to do these right." Then he bought the knife. I felt pretty good. I could never see the appeal of sharp pointy grooves, unless you always wear gloves.)

...wow...what a beaut....

Nice, very clean.

Have to agree with you on the thumb eaters.

Thanks guys.

Keep posting! :)

Received some performance feedback about this knife over Christmas. It was used to dress out two deer this season and needed no sharpening. The other factory knives on the hunt were dull before they finished their first deer. The customer cut himself with it somehow, but didn't know it until he washed the same bloodstain off his hand twice. Maybe this should be the "Lady Macbeth" knife.

"Out, out ####ed spot! Oh crap I cut myself!" All apologies to Willy S.

Good looking knife nice lines Gib
