Thanks guys for the positive response. This knife took about 30 days to complete, plus the time I don't really count, thinking about how I was going to handle the theme. I usually think about those things when I am doing something boring like removing background or stippling on the knife I am working on prior to the job. Plus the design was redesigned and refined several times so there was quite a few days spent just drawing and getting everything to fit together in one small space and look balanced, then change something and then change something else because the first change made things look out of balance and on and on.
Thanks for looking-Brian
