BigPig THF Celebrity Registered: 08/27/09 Posts: 11874 Loc: Forney, Tx	I like the shape! I think it would look sharp if you only ground the edge and left the rest black with the handles almost white _________________________ Originally Posted By: bill oxner Ever spit it out rather than swallow it?

I'm really curious to see that Hackberry after you stabilize it. _________________________ Marc C. Helfrich Retirement Planner www.insured-wealth.com 469-323-8920

That's a great profile Kev, I make one similar to that and it's one of my best selling knives. _________________________ www.jankcustomknives.com God is good always; always, God is good!
