Very nice work, just the right amount of texture to highlight the knife.....Love everything about it.
Can you tell me what you use to do the texturing? Did you do it by hand or with the use of a dremel...if so what kind of bit did you use?

Again great looking knife.

Very nicely done, both the design and the execution of the texture. She's a real looker.

That is really a beautiful knife John. Clean lines, great contrast and texture. Well done.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Much appreciated.

Cote- I have a pencil die grinder that runs on compressed air. I picked it up at harbor freight for around $25. It runs much faster than a dremel and it's a lot easier to hang on to. About the size of a sharpie marker. It takes all the same dremel bits though and I used the smallest round diamond burr I could find for the texturing. I think it's about 1/32 in diameter.

I looked at the knife again and I really like it.

The combonation of materials, lines, and craftsmanship came together to make a very elegant and attractive knife. Great job.

I looked at the knife again and I really like it.

I looked at that one for a couple minutes. It's not complex but it is very striking.
