Looks nice!  I would think the scalloped handle might be a bit uncomfortable, unless I am not seeing something!

I thought the same thing at first.
till I softened up some of the sharp corners with some 240 paper.
seems very comfy now.
matter of fact id be willing to scallop a handle for myself now .

I kinda like that Canadian belt knife design. Cold Steel has one that I bought a year ago. The blade is not as thick as I like, but the steel was good and holds an edge. Yours kinda eclipses theirs and not just because I have a collection of your work.

That's different and cool, Kevin. I'd like to see how that handle feels.
