Hey Thanx Yall! and Ron that handle shape evolved from just grinding diff shapes to get the right feel. I found that relieving the pinky gave me more control and this Baby not only feels good in hand but is perfectly balanced at the index finger! The blade is 4" CE and 8 1/2" OA Cryo Treat and tested to 60HRC

You certainly do work with some exotic materials, Tim. What's the blade length on this beauty?

And, I would also be interested to hear your thoughts on this particular handle shape. I'm sure it wasn't done on a whim and that you more than likely have a reason for shaping it like you did?

Just looking at it, I'm wondering if I could get my hand back far enough to where my pinkie finger could coil comfortably around the tapered end of that gorgeous Siberian Mammoth toothed handle?

I can actually *almost* feel it in my hand, right now.

Great work, mate!
