Nate's blade showed up in the mail yesterday. I've been wearing it all day! I had a class today at my forge/garage and I used Nate's knife as a sample of a consummate bladesmith. Only one negative comment from the bunch. A guy felt that it's handle was too small but he had paws the size of the Hulk so take it for what it's worth. I am one lucky guy to know a knifemaker like Nate.
