A new design for me with a lot less twists in the steel, this makes a bolder pattern with I think is more appealing on a big blade.
Sweet knife! The lines in the steel pair well with the lines in the G10. Like you said, not too busy for a big blade. Is that about a 10" blade?
Wow! I hope a deserving chef out there is not afraid to use that one - too beautiful to cut anything. Great job.
