Legacy Build — Precision Crafted

This bad boy goes out to a long-time dear friend of mine. I chose a standard cutting profile that allows for great detail work while still being able to withstand heavy use and without having to be overly cautious with the edge.  There was a piece of walnut that had been sitting in my wood collection for years. When it came time to build the handle for this, well, it kind of just called to me. Good thing too, it turned out great. I enjoyed this build immensely, and as always, it was tough to say goodbye!
