Nice looking knife Steve. I have several questions. Did you give him specs? What kind of steel did he use? I can see he created a bevel back about 3/4" from the edge which I think is good but I can't tell if the whole blade is tapered toward the edge or if the thickness is constant until it reaches the bevel. I would also like to know what the handle material is. I can't tell if it's wood or Micarta. It sure looks like he knows what he's doing.

Steve the handle material on your knife is green canvas Micarta. It's pretty much indestructible.
