Ron, indicated it was time for me to post something. It has been a while. Here is a Joe Kious that I finished last weekend. Let me know what you think.

Just beautiful Joe.. Your design fits the knife very well.. The blade grind seems to "split" the knife into 2 half's, and your mirror image pattern works great..Nice work.. Best, Rich

Beautiful work Joe!

I agree with Rich...the symmetry is just what was called for....

A classic!

Thanks again guys for you nice comment. I did work a little harder on the design for this knife.

Coop, This one is for a collector. He is out of town and has not seen it. I am now working on another Kious this style with a plain blade and black lip pearl. It will be coming to you when done.

Joe

You did a great piece of work on this one. The engraving is well balanced and beautifully done. You have a very distinctive style.
