Nick,
Looks great! Reminds me how much I need to get going and do a project myself.
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][I][COLOR=Navy]Madame, rarely will you meet a more prejudiced man nor one who tells himself he keeps his mind more open. But cannot that be because one part of our mind, that which we act with, becomes prejudiced through experience and still we keep another part completly open to observe and judge with?[/COLOR][/I]

Thanks much, all.
Switchblade, not until after the wedding  I have to much to do as it is, and already have an order for an XMarker that needs to be completed. I can give you the e-mail of one of the best bladesmiths I know, though. PM me if you're interested.
David, nope, can't carve. Well, not well at any rate. I'm not very good with leather or wood, but if pressed I can turn something out (this dirk is an example). I may try something on this at a later time, or on my next blade.
Nick

Holy Wah! That's a nice knife, eh!
Sorry couldn't help myself. Great job Nick. You truly should be proud of what you've accomplished and I think it will very handsome on your hip at your wedding.
