It looks great and it also feels great in the hand.

Super job, Michael

That is a fine picture, and no disrespect intended to the photographer, but having held this cutlass, I can say that it is actually much more impressive in hand. When I first saw it I thought it could be a show winner - it just has that kind of quality to it.

Anyway, congrats to Mike . . . and to whoever is the new owner of this fine cutlass.

Very nice! Michael hit a home run with this one - two big awards!
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it in person at the show, so thanks Jon for posting it.
