There's a compliment from the man himself.

Sweet knife Yoder.

Anything you can't do better than most everyone, Clint?  Dog gone, son!  When I realized I was looking at the camera reflected in the blade, I realized you had taken this one to the Nth degree, too!  Best of all, I know you are gonna carry it and use it, not treat it like some princess.

Thanks guys!

JW,  It does have a nice shine to it.  I just got lucky it turned out as nice as it did.  I've done a lot of research on knife making.  I just listened to what all the youtube videos told me to do.   And it will have some deer blood on it this fall.  I promise.

Trapper Rob, I took it down to 2000 grit and then used a buffing wheel on my bench grinder.
