one for a friend

Made this for a friend of mine (Who wanted it unpolished)

As always comments please (As I learn allot from them)

very nice lines, i particularly like the way you,ve been brave enough to leave it unfinished, so it has a nice classic olde worlde feel about it and a lot of carricter to boot. its ironic thats exactly the sort of thing "bred" outa production blades

Not sure if its the angle of the knife as its photographed, but, does the blades spine drop slightly from handle to point and the belly of the blade bulge a little? Sort of a pregnant woodlore

Looks very nice and very admirable for what I believe (going on your BB posts) is not exactly your 100th professionally made blade etc.

Very nice, would hapilly own that one.
