Absolutely beautiful Chad. Wow!
I love the idea of it being hollow ground, what a neat touch.

It's pretty cool, isn't it?
I tried to get good pics of the cross-section, but didn't have any luck.

Chad,
Wow, another winner from Vince. Simply outstanding! The detail work on the pommel is a treat to look at and
the sheath complements the knife very well. Will you post some detailed blade pics?

Ooooooh, double wow!
I love the hollow grinding on the spine. I just absolutely love this piece Chad.
I e-mailed Vince this afternoon I asked him to put my name on the next one of these he makes. I must have one!

Congrats Chad,
That is one fine piece,
The burl look's great,
Do you know if it is the stabilised type or just a fine piece that was used,
Big up to Vince for yet more fantastic work,

I don't think it's stabilized, but I'm not sure. Maybe I'll email Vince for an answer.

By the way, some people might be worried that the thick blade would impair the cutting ability of the knife. There are some pool noodle fragments that would strongly disagree...
This thing is a wicked cutter.
