Beautiful knife Ash, your laser research is really paying off!!! It's amazing how much progress you've made in such a short time, definitely a natural. If I could just make one suggestion? Shorten your backspring a bit (or lengthen the run up) so you don't have so much 'hook' on the blade in the open position.

Yes I agree. It wasn't originally intended to hook that much. Things have a way of morphing as the build progresses sometimes.

I definitely want the feedback. I am trying for that grey area of a knife that looks and feels like a traditional that you collectors all crave, but is modern and different just enough to not be a an exact replica.
