    Knife looks good, I've been a fan of true Lignum Vitae for many years. That stuff is hard to get these days. The stitching on the sheath looks like a machine - is it? If it's hand stitching you really did good.

    How did you heat treat the steel? I've heard A2 is good stuff but never used it.

    Very clean work and a most useful blade profile. Any idea re hardness?
