Really awesome knife. Really liked the shiny knife blade. What material is the handgrip made from ?
Keep knives in your pocket and pray that you will never need it

astronomy.domaine,
I do not know why I even bother to comment on your creations..... As mentioned by me a lot of times, you are not only a master craftsman/ engineer, but an artist as well.
However, let the pics of your creations coming through. You creations create an excitement in my otherwise mundane life.
Keep it up.
Regards
Atul
