I agree, beautiful inlay work.

I know one of the issues that I have run into regarding handle length is, most blocks tend to be only 5" long.

Wow.

Wowsa.

That's a beauty, I like the subtle curves on that.

LOL

+4 Trailing Point. That thing is going to hit like a truck.

I figured it was a tender.

Cool, what rate were you in the Navy? I was an OTA/STG.

Nope, this is my first time on her. I was home on vacation when that happened. But I was on the Victorious that year.

Nope not a tincan. The mighty Impeccable.

That sounds like a great idea, thanks!

Clifford, yes it is. Good eye! It has probably changed a lot since you were there last. The exchange is now a duty free store. Spanish Gate is still there. A bunch of restaurants, hotels, a mall and a casino are now located on what used to be the old Naval Base and it's called the Subic Bay Freeport Zone. The Korean shipbuilder Hanjin had a yard on Subic Bay as well, it's been shutdown since they filed for bankruptcy.

I've always loved how Koa wood looks. Very nice looking knife.

Austin thanks, yes I do travel quite a bit.
