Title: Goldsworthy Custom Pikal
Post by: sjwsti on January 28, 2013, 05:53:58 PM

Just got the following image today from Mark Goldsworthy of my finished custom spec Pikal. Mark is the first custom maker I have ever delt with that has sent me pictures of the progress and kept me updated through the entire build. If it performs as good as it looks he will be getting more business from me in the future.

I'm not much of a knife guy, and don't know much about that type of blade profile, but it sure is beautiful.

True damascus with a profile grind or just a pattern?

I agree, its one of the nicest looking knives I have. It is designed specifically for reverse grip/blade in use. I carry it on my support side next to my mag pouch, for left hand use, if my right is occupied and I cant get to my gun.
