Looks great Erin, love the lines and fit. Well done.

Great ingenuity there Shank.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the kind words and input. This is truly my first 100% handmade knife. Ground it, heat treated and tempered it myself. I've put handles on many other makers and suppliers blades, but this was a first for me.

Outstanding job Shank.

Beautiful work Travis, I really like the way that turned out.

Beautiful knife, love the pattern and the Buckeye burl.

Finally finished it up this weekend. 9 1/2" overall with a 4 1/2" blade. 3/16" 01 steel with a flat grind. Buckeye burl scales with Turquoise for the bolsters. Took a ton of pics because I was so excited to finally finish it...

Lot's of good folks here. That's what I like about this forum. Kudos to Frosstyx.

Can't wait to see them finished.

Nice job Murph, very impressive.

Very kind of you, thanks.

That Amboyna is going to look great, can't wait to see the finished pictures.

I bought it at Target James. $76.99 plus tax. Well worth it to keep the wrath of the wife calm.

Wow, Mike you posted that while my slow old hands were typing. Give me a second and you will have a PM incoming. Thank you much.
