beautifully done, the best cutting steel, some quibbles: the gold(en) bolster accent is unfortunately a dissonance, the normal to this view profile of the handle is a fattish ellipse what makes the handle a bit too thick, I'm guessing this was intended for making the Micarta pattern look orderly, but on the ultimate cutting steel, which is prone to rusting (a reminder this is a tool, not an ornament) details should be subjects of function, not the superficial decor.
