Wow, this knife is exquisite and the photo captures the details perfectly. Hope this one is for Fisk's show and I get to see it in person.
 
I'd love to see this basic design theme rendered as a hunting sword. Would be epic.
 
Id like to see the same photo minus the silhouette shadows in background. They may detract/ distract..

:eek: Wow! Kyle, that is such an elegant knfe! I gotta say, it's pretty sexy as well. lol ;)

It's just so incredibly thought out and so perfectly executed. I love how the engravings really highlight the blued fittings.

Was the blade Hot Blued as well (as opposed to cold blued)?

Another great photo as well, Caleb! Thanks for sharing :)

Strike like lightning. :cool:
Nice lines and the blued blade and fittings work superbly with the Blackwood.
Great work, Kyle, the small details are amazing and faithfully rendered by Caleb.

Very sinister looking yet extremely elegant at the same time.
Both knifemaking and knife photography at it's best and all in the same family. Amazing!
