Well then that's even more impressive then!
That blade kind of reminds me of an elephant toe blade, pretty cool. Must have take a whole heckuva lot of filing and grinding by hand to achieve that shape.

Very nice job, Scott! Very useable knife now.
You would never know it used to be a hawk bill.
That jigged wood handle is still an oddity - never seen jigged wood before!

Files and a sharpening stone to grind.

Things were going along fine until I lost a screw
