Overdone Pulls?
Double pulls might look okay on some patterns, but this just looks wrong.
I suspect you couldn't get enough leverage on the long pull to open it anyway. The deeply struck & perfectly sufficient cresent nick looks great though. Hope this trend of doubles @ GEC passes quickly.

Re: Overdone Pulls?
it's certainly unusual, but it's not a deal-breaker for me.
the long pull seems a little too low, and the crescent pull seems too large to me, and they would've looked better as matchstrike pulls, imo.
the sabre grind of the blade is sweet!

Re: Overdone Pulls?
There just seems to be too much going on when you look at the blade. You've got the saber grind, double pulls, blade etch, and a swedge. Yikes! Tone it down a little, fellas.

certainly the shiny bar of polish which we usually see on the saber grinds is interuppted a little excessively for my tastes.---HiPower
