I'm glad you like it!
It's supposed to be Smaug the dragon and the eye of Sauron. The other side is supposed to be a man of Numenor. If you're not familiar with Tolkien and Lord Of The Rings, that will make no sense to you.

Absolutely stunning SafdE! Your knife building skills are off the chain!
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Here are some of my fixed blades: 4 Queen Steel, Custom Moose Antler Drop Point Hunter (by Ivoryman), Custom Wood-Handled Four-Finger Skinner and handmade leather sheath made by Rossr (Einhorn Knives).
We are all just prisoners here of our own device.
In the master's chamber they gather for the feast.
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Thanks, Mark. Yeah...it's a beauty, and in MINT condition. I've had it for about two years and have kept it stored away in its original box. It's a 2008 model.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
That's the trouble when we buy these gorgeous knives, we're afraid to use them and risk ruining their beautiful appearance. I have a room full of beautiful knives that will never be used, only admired and played with. It's not so bad though!
