Just need a little Obenaufs on the sheath and an edge on the knife to call this one done. This one required everything in my limited skill set to complete. Just hope now that it's what the"potential" new owner had in mind.


.130 ADS 3 1/4" blade...8" OAL
Carbon fiber liners/spacers
Nickel/silver dovetailed bolsters
Slightly modified vine pattern filework
Nickel/silver mosaic pins.

Thanks for looking...All comments are welcomed and appreciated.

That sure does look nice - very well crafted. BTW, what material is the handle?

Thanks Ken. The scales are some original ( circa 1970's) Westinghouse Micarta. I wanted some scales that were not so bright white and would yellow a little with age.

They do look "aged" a bit - makes me think of true ivory. Sure does look nice.

Thanks guys...I think it was worth the effort to use the "old" Micarta. The newer stuff would have been to bright white and I think would have clashed with everything. Maybe could have found some beige micarta or something? Just thinking outloud,

Thanks for the kind comments,
Rick
