like that a lot. if that's your rough one i'd like to see a perfect one!

[Wrangler]

Congrats on that rough, hard working cutting tool, Torsten!

As mentioned on another forums already I like that one a lot, even I`m not a sheepsfoot fan.
Just change the blade to a clippoint, nail some nice sambar scales to the handle and it`d be my slippie!

[Torsten]

Ludi I will start your Version tomorrow , got a lot Sambar last Time.....

a perfekt one will never build from me, only a clean and nice finished maybe

That's a great looking knife. I really like it. It has my favorite pocket knife blade shape.

[Hector]

I really like the blade and the overall finish.

excellent work.

I would really be happy carrying a knife like this every day.

by the way, is the bolster made from mokume???

if so, I would really like a knife like this one.

Yes, Hector. It`s made of Torsten`s own mokume!
As well as he forges his damascus, melts his own wootz .........

[Hector]

Wow....

I thought it looked good.

I love the blade shape and the whole thing is very appealing.

How big is it? I must have missed any dimensions that Torsten mentioned

[Fjellräv]

That's a tough and appealing user. Has got a lot of character, like it very much.

[DCL]

very cool and nice looking he will be very happy for it

[Torsten]

thx a lot for your kindly words,
I like this style a lot, but know its to late for dimensions.
I have to make on more. Same style .... Then I will show more!

Just for the record:
The core is made of Torsten`s own wootz with layers of damascus if I read that correctly at german messerforum.
