Sam knows 'terrible'! This one is. Has great balance and feel for a large blade, and the damascus is special. Outstanding piece! :thumbup:

Caleb, love the corner shadowing that helps highlight the 'predator'.

Great looking knife and your pictures are always professional. Poplar wood is a bit light. Does it become more substantial once stabilized?

I dig the Damascus pattern. It looks . . . "dense."

And it does cry out to be held.

Thanks for sharing this with us.
