Wow !

Now that's a knife and a half.

Excellent job all round - if your brother doesn't like that there's something wrong with him.

Cheers for your comments guys. Going from scales to a hidden tang was certainly a learning curve. But I think most of my knives from now on will be hidden tang - less mechanically to go wrong. Especially as my tangs as almost as thick as the handle!
