I don't know which I like more, the knife or the sheath. A truly gorgeous knife. And the photos are absolutely amazing, Caleb. Expertly done.

Beautiful job Karl, the sheath and Caleb's photos do it the justice it deserves. Just one question though. What exactly is "bot-blued"? :what!:

How are you getting that nice black finish on the guard? Or is it a trade secret.
