					Nick, Looks great!  Reminds me how much I need to get going and do a project myself.

					Thanks much, all.
 Switchblade, not until after the wedding
  I have to much to do as it is, and already have an order for an XMarker that needs to be completed.  I can give you the e-mail of one of the best bladesmiths I know, though.  PM me if you're interested. 
 David, nope, can't carve.  Well, not well at any rate.  I'm not very good with leather or wood, but if pressed I can turn something out (this dirk is an example).  I may try something on this at a later time, or on my next blade.

 Sorry couldn't help myself. Great job Nick. You truly should be proud of what you've accomplished and I think it will very handsome on your hip at your wedding.
