For Spear Point Hunter's Knife - Stainless Steel Blade - Handmade Cocobolo Wood HandleThe blade and handle are fantastic. All aspects of the experience were outstanding. Charles was really friendly and communicated well. Between the messaging, and pictures, I knew exactly what I was getting. He was even kind enough to make a left-handed sheath for me.
