Here's a camp knife I just finished. I was inspired on the handle by Claudio Cas. This was my first time attempting carving like this and I have to say, for me it was kind of a PITA. It took me a lot of time. Glad to be done with it. :)

1080+ steel, clay quenched
11 1/2" overall, 6 1/2" blade
.225" at the ricasso tapers to 3/32" at the butt end of the handle
False edge
Tapered tang
Missouri Black walnut scales with lots of feather pattern
Brass bolts

WOW is right! From design to execution, the detail on the scales is incredible. And your blades ... well there just always perfect to my eye.
Do you need an apprentice? How about a fan club? I'll start the Oahu chapter if it doesn't already exist :biggrin:
 
Thanks for the comments guys.

Chap, you are too kind. :) Thank you.

Though I would love an apprentice. Maybe for a first task you could follow me around and remind where I put things down so I don't have to look for them for 20 minutes.
