John,
I'm simply speechless... The whole package is simply elegant!
Scott's sheath keeps the clean lines, colours and textures flowing from the colors and textures of the handle... Coop's pic really does this piece justice!
Thanks for keeping me in the loop!

This one made ME "oooh and ahhh"....

As precise as an Italian folder and as useful as an American hunter. BAM!

Thank you, John. A privilege. :thumbsup:
 
You already know I love this one, John. One of my all time favorites you’ve made. And Coop-the picture is fantastic.

Thanks for posting it up.

John, you are simply the king of the hunters. Every knife you post here makes me think I've never seen one finer, and this is no exception. Truly a glorious example of the knifemaker's art.
 
Damn.... I remember when you very first started up. You have gone to a place far from where you started. This knife is fantastic.
 
nice piece, John! Sooo pointy!
 
I really like this one John. Just the right amount of pizazz... elegant, but never over-the-top. Love the texturing of the guard. Blue spacer is clean. Handle grooves add a lot, and I really dig how there's a clear delineation of the handle shape that happens right at that transition. Great work.
