Here's what I came up with:
Steel: CPM D2
Scales: Burgandy Linen Micarta
Hardware: C110 Copper bolsters and pins, brass mosaic pin and thong hole liner
Bade: Just shy of 4" from tip to front of bolsters
This is far from perfect... The big standouts are that my makers mark came...
I've updated the list on the main KITH thread to reflect completed knives. Let me know if I missed anyone!
I should have mine wrapped up this weekend, or early in the week.
Tony,

It's been kind of quiet in here lately... How's everyone doing? My shop is starting to thaw out, and I got my steel order from Aldo. Now all that's left is design, grind, HT, finish, make a handle, make a sheath, and sharpen! :biggrin:
