That's absolutely superb, Geko :thumbup:

Loving the shape of that blade and the scales are beautiful. Is the second one for sale then?

Thanks for the picture history.

You liked those didn't you George, I think you would have snapped that second one up in a second if it had been for sale :thumbup:

They are rather nice though, must admit :thumbup: Well done Geko.
