Here's a camp knife I just finished. I was inspired on the handle by Claudio Cas. This was my first time attempting carving like this and I have to say, for me it was kind of a PITA. It took me a lot of time. Glad to be done with it. :)

1080+ steel, clay quenched
11 1/2" overall, 6 1/2" blade
.225" at the ricasso tapers to 3/32" at the butt end of the handle
False edge
Tapered tang
Missouri Black walnut scales with lots of feather pattern
Brass bolts

Really well done! I've tried a little bit a carving on wood handles and keep think of doing
more. It's a lot hard that you think it'll be, at least for me.
 
Thanks guys!

Dan you're right on about the carving. Even still when I look at that, I can't believe it took as long as it did. Of course I'm not exactly an expert at it either.
