Very nice Chad. Good job on the handle, love the maple. The guard is great, nice work on that one. Overall really nice. Now I do have one nit pick, and this is just me. A swedge or clip would look nice on this blade. Again just personal preference, aside from that a big thumbs up here.

Boy, that handle looks NICE. I also really like the look of the spine from that bottom photo. Great job.
