Nice knife, good carbon steel files make excellent blades. One question jumps at me about this one though. Why the hole in the blade?

*looks at the two "looks too much like a kitchen knife" comments and is amused*
God forbid that anyone makes something usable instead of a costume prop or other showpiece. XD
It seems like a great idea to me, and nice, solid work, too.

Alas, but kitchen knives are always under-appreciated.

It's true! They deserve much more respect. How else would we slice things in the kitchen? Those oversized knives? Pfah!
(Nice knife!)

Imagine trying to use a machete to fillet a fish or slice fruit! On second thought, that image ends with a hospital visit . . .

It looks great! The handle edges seem a little square-ish in the picture, but that may not be the case. Very nice!

thanks! the handle is ever so slightly square but the corners are rounded so it still fits real nice in the hand. cheers!
