Nice looking blade Tank...
...I like the grind and at 5/32" thick should make a good all around knife.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Thanks Tank. Queen calls it golden redwood burl, if I remember correctly.
Call me cheap but this is an example of the handiest little fixed bade I've ever carried. I've had a few of 'em down through the years and they have always taken a lickin' and kept on tickin'. I can only remember destroying one (broke the blade using it as a pry-bar....my bad), all of the others were lost or stolen at some point. I still have a couple that I carry but I'm keepin' this one mint in the box for posterity!

Can't go wrong with a Sharpfinger. I would like one piggybacked on a 15OT.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Here is one that came to me this weekend:A Lamson & Goodnow clip point with fish scaler spine in unsharpened condition.The clip is actually sharp as well.Some staining on the blade and a few flat spots on the edge;five rivets holding the scales in place.Took a stone to it to clean up the flat spots and now it is scary sharp.Fits great in a USA made sheath I bought for less than a dollar(14 sheathes for $12).The knife was a bargain too:$3.
