Love the handle profile! How did you do the jimping in 2 directions?
Travis,It is done with a Metal Checkering file.You can get them from Brownells or Jantz supply. They are expensive but have only replaced mine once in 40 years.
Thanks Guys for the nice comments they are greatly appreciated
 
Travis put your checkering file across the top at a 45 degreee angle then on other side match the starting angle. It makes a nice added feature.
 
I like it. The handle material is beautiful and is contoured nicely and the blade shape is one I have an affinity for. I also like your sheath work. I own that same gun, mine is duo-tone, so I guess I like it too. :eek:
 
Hi Dave
Looks good, couple of questions:

what kind of liner material, would like a bright red but the G10 isn't

Just one question, but that sheath, excellent, i love it when i finish a knife to move on to the sheath.

Take care
 
Hi Mark, the liner material is cherry Red Fiber from Jantz
Thanks to all for the nice comments they are greatly appreciated
