These knives are all more utilitarian. In the case of this particular knife it is very "showy". Don't get me wrong, it is a great knife for general use, but lets face it no one really NEEDS a damascus blade with resin injected, buffed scales for a daily carry knife. If I were to build a true fighter, I would likely use a rough micarta handle with a large guard and a thicker more grippy handle. Perhaps I'll have to try my hand at one of those sometime soon... Thanks again, John Thanks for the compliments. :-)

The shape of the blades is outstanding. The technical details you describe indicate a care in construction that you can be proud of. God forbid that you should ever have to fight your knives, though. The handles on your knives are too small around and too round. I believe that you would find that the knife would twist in your hand because your hand would be very wet with sweat (and blood).
