I finally finished it tonight. The walk and talk is off a little bit but I'm still happy with it. CPM 154 and Warwood scales.

I used 0.005" phosphor bronze washers I bought at USA Knifemaker instead of milling the liners.

That's awesome! I really like that blade. So, not bad enough to keep you from making more? Did you use screws? Looks like it. As opposed to peening pins I mean.
Nice work.

Thanks. I'll definitely be making more. I've never peened pins before so I figured I would use screws. I think I will continue to do so on the next ones also.
 
Thanks guys. I should have added that I owe a big thanks to Andrew Riley for the pattern and for the videos and help he provided. I also received a lot of help from some other knife makers who were patient enough to put up with all my questions.
 
Thanks. I made a short video of it.

Thanks. The handle was looking a little bland so I sanded it to 2000 grit and gave it a light buff.
