Nothing special.  Just trying to get back in the swing of it.  I should of thinned a little more with percussion before I went to pressure.  It ended up 4.6 to 1.  Thanks for looking .  Josh

Very nice, lso w/t ratio is not too bad for a blade it works and it has room for resharpening too!  Great job!

Missed it somehow. Nice looking knife Josh. Looks like a good ratio for a knife.
