El, the cattle knife is to "die for." :thumbup: :thumbup:
These are images of my two fine knives by Ryu. (These had been posted previously but I no longer use the old hosting service so they were no longer available in this thread.)

Beautiful stockman! I like the sheepfoot at the opposite end: with the serpentine magnified at that end, the blade has a downward orientation which is perfect for the way I use a sheepfoot most (precision cuts on a table top).
Not much he could do without grinding away the character of the stag. It's not uncommon to see in the work of many top makers.
Beautiful knives, Elliott. I remember those from your old posts. That Cattle Knife is a work of art!Here are links to images of my two pieces by Ryu. (Apparently the old hosted images are no longer available. They're worth a look imho.)
