Huh, not many knife/tool makers interested in making items that already look aged, but Matt did a lovely job with the distressing. Though I will be sad to not see you using the same root hook I have; that always gave me a bit of a chuckle. Sounds like a nice knife for trunk carving or cuttings is next!
