Pine Cone Fillet Knife

[cote]

I just finished this fillet knife, I used Pine Cone scales from by Pat & Lynn of Ankrom Exotics.... I was blown away by how nice the handle looked, kind of resembles fish scales
The blade is 9" long with a mirror polish using 1/16" CPM 154 stock, 416 double dovetailed bolsters.

Thanks for looking,

Very nice work - looks like a tricky grind and came out beautiful and scales with scales are really cool on a fillet-
