That looks very fine indeed! All we need now is a tutorial from you so we can all make one (albeit maybe not so pretty!)

This is my first post here, although I've been lurking and reading fo a while.

Anyway, the fire piston looks good, hope the one I'm making turns out that good.
But that knife is fantastic!! Hope I get it in the draw!--that is if you mean the "spring fling" kith.

A KITH is a "knife in the hat" The knife makers who sign up for it make a knife by what ever rules where set by who started it. Then at the date set for the draw everyone swaps there knifes in the order set by who started the kith. And its alot of fun.
