that looks awesome! if the group buy hasn't sold out yet, i bet it will now!
Yeah, that sucks about the cladding, You'd have to shorten the knife and move the profile up to remove it, and God only knows how far up that goes!
Etching is cool. Does it stay though?
great looking etching job Dave, now just wait to see how it slice through things.
Oh yeah it'll stay put for sure although the edge may change in appearance based on how it's used.

Glad you like it Rio, I hope it serves you well.
Great looking knife!
As you all know these are my favorite knives hands down, Dave you really made that one look great
I always watch with interest at what your dooing with the Hiromoto AS knives

Nice job on the weight reduction! It seems like a crap shoot what you are going to uncover when you thin these.
Yeah it's true. The cladding on the left side was all over the edge and I ground most of it off of the edge except for that one part that I couldn't get. I can't always fix the problems the factory builds into knives but I try.
