Rob, sorry to hear about the cracks; always a danger with that handle material. Enjoy it in good health, as it is a beautiful example of the bladesmith's art. The engraved hilt, the etched Bo signature, the handle shape and material, and the blade profile all came together just about perfectly, at least from my perspective (I'm a big fan of the drop point design). Not a bad provenance either according to the catalog listing. It was the first of the Rhett catalog knives that've sold on ebay recently that I bid on (I've watched a few, but have not pulled the bid trigger until this one came up). There have been some cool ones, but yours is a real gem. There is a somewhat similarly configured Model 10-3.75" listed today on ebay. Again, congrats on a great piece for the collection.
