Another pair of knives; this time made by Frank Dilluvio, a Michigan Knife Maker. Finished with Desert ironwood and red fiberglass. These are two truly wicked sharp knives.

Wow, that is really close to the same blade profile as my latest knife, except I had a flatter primary bevel and brought the spine out closer to the tip to improve tip strength.
I thought I was being original, LOL.
On mine, the thumb depression in front of the handle is functional since there won't be a top guard. I'm not sure what the purpose of a thumb depression is when you can't get to it

Not only does A. T. Barr make great knives (he's retired from making knives now though) he and his wife Barbara are good friends.

Here's a liner lock by A. T. with maroon micarta scales:
