That's good; maybe in time for the R45!

Hey Dino, nice work!  The proportions are right on and I really like the handle shape, especially the index finger cut out.

Mirror finishes take a lot of sweat equity.  I can appreciate the amount of work you put into that blade.

Your materials look first class and mosaic pins are always a nice touch.  Eighteen hours does seem to be a short amount of time for such a nice outcome...Congrats.

Hayabusa,
   Do you ride a Hayabusa ? They are a fine looking bike.

Hayabusa, thanks for the feedback. The wife says I'm crazy about the 18 hours as she remembers it as a full two weeks of me in the garage every waking moment.  Time flys when your having fun!

John, Learned to ride in 2002 at 46 years old.  Had an '03 black and grey Busa with carbon fiber Micron pipes and a bunch of other upgrades.  Sold it a few years ago but, like your first love, I'll never forget that beauty.

Current stable is Orange, Black & Silver '05 Screamin' Eagle V-Rod and 2008 Ducati 1098R.

Do you ride?  Heck, I should start a bike thread

we need pictures of the V rod.    Tom

No I don't ride.  I always have enjoyed bikes, I have been to Bike Week in Daytona a couple of times and to Myrtle Beach Bike Week a couple also. When I was young I knew it was in my best interest to not have a bike, I think if I had gotten one when I was young I may not be typing on this keyboard now.

Whoo, Weee.  Now that's what I call knife making!  Nice, Dino!

[Dino]

Thanks KJ, sorry my picture taking is not as good as my knife making. :-/

Hey, it's just fine, Dino.  You do excellent work.
