Nice, beautiful.

I can almost hear the stump whining about the weight of that blade, I bet it out does a axe on big stuff!

The persimmon is very nice

Nice work there! Frank, is the blade made from a rasp or did you just use rasp pieces for the bolsters? Great combination of materials.

Very nice Frank. Your knives keep getting better and better. Everytime I think I have enough knives, you make another one that I want. Glad to see you back doing what you do so well.
