Caniitler in D2 with Ram's Horn

Here is my Canal Street Cannitler in D2 steel with external Ram's Horn scales. I really love this knife and I think it just about perfect. The shield fell out of it shortly after getting it, but a lil superglue and it is as good as new. This is number 41 of 50.
That D2 is tough stuff! I'm trying to let a patina develop naturally, but nothing I cut phases it. I've been using it in the kitchen too for good measure. Onions, garlic, fruits, vegetables. Nothing stains it. I think the mirror polish might be slowing down the patina formation a bit. Anyway, here are the pics! Just look at that horn! This is my first knife with Ram's Horn, and I must say I really like it. Very grippy and attractive to boot! It is also my first knife in D2. I haven't taken it to the stones yet, as it came satisfactory sharp out of the box. But sometime I'll take it to nice thin inclusive 30ish degree angle.
