That is one very sweet looking knife blade.  Once it has it's handle attached I wanna see it cutting up a deer!

Or maybe one of Cuda's turkeys.   >:D

Wasn't 100% happy with the profile of the blade so I reworked her a bit this morning and am much more pleased with it...will get to hafting her tonight hopefully.



I also added some notches to the point...



Thanks for looking~
