Gorgeous knife.  I love the way the Noreena almost looks like a camouflage pattern.  Nice work.  I started a fixed blade but the finger groove is such a small radius I will have to grind it with diamond bits and the foredom.  You do great work.

Lol yes sharp
I bought a carving wheel I can put on a lapidary arbor it speeds up cutting recesses (finger grooves) like that. Before going to the foredom

Thankyou all of you compliments means a lot to me. Michael, complements form you mean a lot, a lot of what I learned was from your tutorials. I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge with others.  I found the gemstone community forum looking for  info on doing gemstone knife scales.
