Kinda neat..

Another 1 I gave away. To Justin M.. When I showed him the little 5 layer knife he didn't want to give it back..

So made this 1 for him..

It has a J on both sides of the blade.. Not as clean as I like, but it will work.

That came out great. I really like the shape of the handle.

Thanks Matt, It's super nice in the hand.. Not to cramped but not sloppy either..

It's actually a tiny blade and knife.. I didn't want to make something huge that would take a long time to finish..

I really like small fixed blades. I admire well made folding knives and used to enjoy the challenge of making them but I switched over to carrying a fixed blade about 5 years ago and haven't looked back. Sturdier, handier to use with gloves, and when I get bored and want a new one I can make it in an afternoon or two
